Why are you a for-profit company?
Flagpole of Freedom is a purpose-driven for-profit entity with the core goal of uniting America and fostering pride without party.
Because of the broadness, complexity and scope of the park we don’t fit the mold of a typical nonprofit that has a narrower mission. There are in fact 45,000 recognized, veteran related nonprofits. Rather than compete with those, we can better serve this nonprofit community by sharing a portion of our profits, and resources with some of those and other deserving organizations.
Entry to the park is always free to the public. No one will ever pay to come and see their loved one’s names on the Remembrance Walls or closely view the Flagpole. Visitors can also freely enjoy the 2,500 acre expanse of the park set in the Maine Forest. Once completed-Within our Halls of History there will be live productions and immersive experiences that will have optional ticketed access. Proceeds of these day-pass style tickets to the 50+ planned experiences will be the mechanism that maintains and operates the Park.
Flagpole of Freedom is not being funded by taxpayer monies or federal funds. This is a privately funded enterprise. It is our belief that a for-profit structure not only is the most effective method of building the Park, but it is precisely this structure that will allow us to maintain and grow the Park for generations to come, as well as to have a sustainable impact on the Veteran-focused nonprofit community, now and into the future.
