Overview

Mission

To empower Combat Veterans through engagement with each other and those who support them as we strive to ensure every generation of Combat Veterans successfully integrates back into their local community.

What it reported doing in 2020

A Combat Veterans Hope ACVH works to empower all combat-era veterans through engagement with each other and their local community. ACVH is a local organization that ensures a successful transition from soldier to civilian life. What we noticed was that while there are larger national organizations that are geared toward helping veterans in their way it was clear that our Central Valley Combat Veterans were not getting the same consistent connections and support as their bigger cities brothers and sisters. We use this knowledge to provide more targeted engagement opportunities to our Warfighters.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 91% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
