What it reported doing in 2025

Worked with various associations to provide humanitarian aid by expanding ptsd and trauma outreach programs to veterans and their families throughout ukraine; by building a stronger culture of charity in the country; and by providing rehabiliation and physical training equipment for wounded veterans and their families, especially those missing limbs.

Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of voting board members are independent and the filing reports few safeguards for money sent abroad.
