Overview
Mission
We believe that every veteran and their family deserve the confidence to smile. As a nationwide program, our mission is to restore self-esteem and dignity to veterans with service-related disabilities and their children by addressing the often-overlooked challenge of crooked teeth. Through the generous support of orthodontic professionals who donate their services, we provide free orthodontic care that transforms lives. By improving their appearance and boosting their confidence, we empower veterans and their families to reintegrate into civilian life with pride, self-assurance, and the opportunity to face the future with a smile.
What it reported doing in 2025
Embracing Our Warriors is dedicated to restoring confidence and improving the quality of life for veterans with service-related disabilities and their families by providing access to orthodontic treatment they could not otherwise afford. In 2025, the organization facilitated 27 cases of free orthodontic treatment for disabled veterans and their family members through a national network of volunteer orthodontists who generously donate their professional services. Orthodontic treatment typically spans approximately two years, with an average value of $6,000 per case. Through these donated services, Embracing Our Warriors helped provide an estimated $162,000 in charitable orthodontic care during the year.
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 81% 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. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
