Overview

Mission

We use farming to help veterans find hope heal and build purposeful lives after military service. Our vision is every veteran living with purpose.

What it reported doing in 2025

Veteran Referral & Advocacy Program: We help veterans overcome barriers to building purposeful lives by connecting them to resources and advocating for them. This includes helping them advocate for VA benefits connect with medical providers and rehabilitation programs and solve a wide range of problems. We referred ~65 veterans to non-farming resources in 2025.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 99% 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 program spending has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
