What Nebraska City Veterans Memorial Building Project does
Mission
The Nebraska City Veterans Memorial Building Project is an organization of citizens formed to accomplish the renovation and revitalization of the historic Nebraska City Veterans Memorial Building in southeast Nebraska. The Project is dedicated to the re-establishment of a space for cultural, educational and recreational activities in southeast Nebraska and southwest Iowa.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
On its FY2025 return the organization reported starting a significant new program.
Program services of building renovation listed last year have been completed. The program service going forward is to continue the maintenance of the building, grounds, and systems. Maintenance will include replacement of outdated systems and addition of equipment to ensure the use of the building as a community and conference center.
Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 2).
The Nebraska City Veterans Memorial Building is operated to make available public meeting space, offices, auditorium, and community kitchen. Fees are collected to offset expenses and continue the operation of the building for future activities. The year resulted in the use of meeting rooms for eight meetings, 31 large and small parties, two classes, two theater performances, one art show, two cultural events, three music programs, seven kitchen rentals for food preparation, and four events in the adjacent parking lot. Two offices are in long-term leases. Veterans organizations are using office and meeting space free of charge and special events happen in the building for Memorial Day and Veterans Day.
$36,789 spent$36,174 earned by the program17% of program spendingThe Nebraska City Veterans Memorial Building will continue to need maintenance of the building, the grounds, HVAC systems, security systems, elevator and other required equipment for the health and safety of those who use the building. In time, systems will need regular replacement to ensure continuation of minimal operating standards and the building structure will require regular maintenance. Also, further renovation may be undertaken to open up more of the building for use and staff education on the proper use and cleaning of systems will be needed. During 2025 expenditures included installation of an exterior sign, tables, chairs, dishwasher rent, alarm inspections, alarm monitoring, water system repair, and building renovation loan final payment.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2020 to 2021, from $1.0M to $259k (−74%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2020 0% · 2021 0% · 2022 68% · 2023 9% · 2024 20% · 2025 57%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $83 arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
