PA Based Charity Facing Questions About Spending

A charity based here in Pennsylvania that aimed to build a memorial for veterans and first responders spent nearly all of its funds raised last year. According to recently filed financial paperwork, the Courtyard of Honor raised over $183,000 in contributions but spent over $173,000 on expenses. The Form 990 for 2023 submitted to the IRS reveals the discrepancy, prompting new questions now about the management of the funds, the future of the memorial project, and the legitimacy of the charity itself.
