Overview
Mission
Helmets of Hope Inc. provides essential household supplies to veterans who have faced homelessness or other forms of housing crisis.
What it reported doing in 2025
During tax year 2025, Helmets of Hope Inc. provided a total of 5,405 household supply and food items either directly to veterans or to its community partner agencies (e.g. the VA's Community Resources and Referral Center in Davenport, Iowa). That total number of supplies included 107 "move-in kits," which are 37-item collections of supplies given to vets who move into housing of their own having faced homelessness or other forms of housing crisis. It's not possible for us to specify a specific number of veterans we served in tax year 2025 because vets ALSO receive our items in an a la cate fashion from our partner agencies. We're not told how many vets receive our items. A conservative guesstimate would be 200+ vets served during the year.
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
SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
