Overview

Mission

To help veterans retrace their steps, rediscover who they are, and command their purpose.

What it reported doing in 2025

Project raha - as part of project raha, u.s. And afghan women veterans joined forces for two art retreats in Texas to transform materials tied to memories from their time in service into paper and pulp. These materials included old military uniforms, traditional afghan clothes, hijabs and shemages, as well as clothing worn during the evacuation effort. Through this creative process, they honored loved ones lost, memories forgotten, and friendships reborn anew. Veterans day weekend, we invited the public to join us in commemorating the service and sacrifices of our veterans, while celebrating the resilience of these women who continue to inspire in the face of hardship.

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 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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of total spending goes to programs and expenses are high relative to revenue.
