Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

What is the organization aiming to accomplish?

We intend to build a world class museum dedicated to providing the facts of the Vietnam War and the Vietnam Era. We have already begun the telling part and are in the early stages of the capital campaign to build the world class facility

What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?

Our first step was to create the web site that attracts questions. We are continuously answering questions about the Vietnam War and Era from scholars, and the general public. This forces us to begin the research to answer the questions that are on the public mind.

Our next step was to begin exhibits in our temporary facility using our 300 sq ft gallery. We typically entertain approximately 15,000 visitors each year from 40 states in the U.S. and 7 other countries.

We our now beginning our third step to build a world class facility. Phase 1 is a story building with 18,000 sq ft. The building can expand in phases to 80,000 sq ft as needed

Final step is to acquire full time staff with credentials to continue the work begun by our volunteers

What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?

We are an all volunteer force, so our cost is minimized for all of our work. Last year we had 40 volunteers who provided a total of more than 5,000 hours. We have educators, historians, many Vietnam veterans, and family members of Vietnam veterans who are dedicated to building the museum and researching the facts we need. That provides us with a workforce producing almost 3 man years of normal work hours.

We own 12 acres, a half size Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall that is kept current with the main wall in Washington DC.. many large artifacts and memorials on hand already to honor our veterans and educate the public

What have they accomplished so far and what's next?

We have built a half size replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall surrounded by a forest of Arizona Cypress. We have acquired the Camp Holloway Wall that is a replica of the one built in Pleiku Vietnam during the war and destroyed by the North Vietnamese Army. We have a Visitor Center staffed by volunteers 7 days a week. We have a great many artifacts large and small. We have produced two successful external art exhibits on art of the Vietnam War. We have also produced two internal art exhibits based on works of a Combat Artist and a Combat Photographer (Vietnam Veterans). We have produced three internal historical exhibits in our current gallery: The Kent State Shooting, Southern Airways, and POW Camps of the Vietnam War. We have other exhibits in progress: Canadians in the Vietnam War, The Korean Army in the Vietnam War, POWs of the Vietnam War. Those works will be completed in the next year or two. A planned exhibit not yet started is "Jane Fonda" What we have not yet accomplished is raising the $1 million to build phase one of our permanent structure. We began the capital campaign in the spring of 2015 and have $300,000 in the bank or pledged in the spring of 2016.

How we listen

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

Seeking feedback from people served makes programs more responsive and effective. Here’s how this organization is listening.

We demonstrated a willingness to learn more by reviewing resources about feedback practice.

We shared information about our current feedback practices.

Who are the people you serve with your mission?

We serve all demographics by providing a venue that unbiasedly educates the public about the Vietnam War Era. Some emphasis is placed on Vietnam Veterans as we seek to honor their legacy and time served by providing a healing experience through our education tours, memorials, and veteran-volunteer experience.
How is your organization using feedback from the people you serve?

To identify and remedy poor client service experiences, To identify bright spots and enhance positive service experiences, To make fundamental changes to our programs and/or operations, To inform the development of new programs/projects, To identify where we are less inclusive or equitable across demographic groups, To strengthen relationships with the people we serve, To understand people's needs and how we can help them achieve their goals
What significant change resulted from feedback?

Through the use of collected surveys we learned that an insufficient emphasis was placed on women who served in the war- which sparked the creation and further updates of our women in Vietnam exhibit displayed in Phase 1.
Which of the following feedback practices does your organization routinely carry out?

We collect feedback from the people we serve at least annually, We take steps to get feedback from marginalized or under-represented people, We aim to collect feedback from as many people we serve as possible, We take steps to ensure people feel comfortable being honest with us, We look for patterns in feedback based on demographics (e.g., race, age, gender, etc.), We look for patterns in feedback based on people’s interactions with us (e.g., site, frequency of service, etc.), We engage the people who provide feedback in looking for ways we can improve in response, We act on the feedback we receive
What challenges does the organization face when collecting feedback?

It is difficult to get the people we serve to respond to requests for feedback, We don’t have the right technology to collect and aggregate feedback efficiently, It is difficult to find the ongoing funding to support feedback collection

Balance sheet

Fiscal Year: Jan 01 - Dec 31

SOURCE: IRS Form 990

The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.
