Overview

Mission

To fly veterans from nyc to dc to honor them for all their sacrifices.

What it reported doing in 2024

To transport veteran heroes to Washington, d.c. To visit their memorials at no cost to them. We serve veterans from all five boroughs of nyc: kings, queens, New York, richmond, & bronx. Top priority is given to those of the "greatest generation", that of world war ii, and terminally ill veterans from other wars on a first-come-first-served basis. We plan to take all veterans from other wars on future flights.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent spending detail to tell whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filed totals do not add up and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
