Overview

Mission

The mission of Chappy's Outdoors is to conduct hunting and fishing trips for our nation's wounded veterans in order to facilitate physical, emotional, and spiritual healing through proclaiming the good news of Jesus Christ.

What it reported doing in 2021

Louisburg, North Carolina deer and turkey hunts. This year again proved difficult to host as many veterans as we have in the past. However, we were still able to do both the spring turkey hunt and fall deer hunt with low cost to our veterans due to local farmers and game wardens covering funds for licensing, lodging, meals, and such. Overall, the two events hosted 10 total veterans this year alone. The location has a wonderful Church on site and the pastor runs the ministry opportunities for both events. Total cost = $1155.20 Illinois deer hunt. We were blessed to send 2 veterans back to one of our favorite spots this year in Illinois for a chance to hunt some giant whitetail deer. Though they were unsuccessful, the veterans spoke very highly of their retreat in the Illinois woods. The host was able to offer ministry devotions both morning and evening for each day of the 5-day hunting trip. We were able to cover all costs for the veterans this year, which included travel, meals, and their licensing. Total cost for this trip was $1125.11 New Kentucky Deer hunt. This year we were able to send 2 veterans to enjoy a deer hunt in Kentucky at a pastor friend's home property. The cost to get these two veterans on this hunt was worth the ministry effort. The partnership with the other non-profit outdoor ministry programs will prove beneficial for years to come. Cost covered travel, licensing, and meals. Total cost for event was $961.93 Elk hunt for 2022 investment. Our restart of our Elk hunt program in Idaho went well in 2021, but will remain a very large undertaking to get going completely. We need investors, locations for the veteran's lodging, staging before the hunt, an outfitter with horses, and so much more. This year 1 staff member went with 1 veteran to attempt to hunt with an outfitter and we learned they cannot be trusted to help our program as they left our men stranded in the mountains without support to return on time. With no food, they hiked out a grueling 7.5 miles with all their gear that was supposed to go on horseback! We did meet a new outfitter at a church in Idaho that is likely to be more trustworthy. If our New Mexico Elk outfitter doesn't work out in 2023, we will attempt to use the new one in Idaho for a future restart of this program in the western half of the U.S. Total cost this season was = $778.89

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% 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

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
