Overview
Mission
To provide aid and support to youth and returning veterans through outreach and educational programs, such as ESOF, Real Role Models for Youth RRMY, and Revive Warrior.
What it reported doing in 2015
The Fall Festival provides youth and the local community access to the patriotic and educational programs available on the grounds of the Organization, including organic farming, weapons safety training, and obstacle course participation.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 77% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
- 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 - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
