Overview

Mission

Living Free Together, Inc is a nonprofit corporation organized and operated exclusively for charitable purposes, specifically to provide support to military families through events, social activities, and workshops. These services are generally provided at no cost to military couples and military families in order to help improve their quality of life and relationships with family members that experience strain due to the hardships of their military service.

What it reported doing in 2025

FEARLESS Family is a four-week family enrichment workshop combining creative and life strategy sessions for all ages designed to equip families with the relational tools necessary for a thriving future together. FEARLESS uses the vocabulary of military training to help participants understand that unit cohesion and a shared purpose can happen within their own family unit, not just in battle. FEARLESS helps participants understand the difference between parenting while under the influence of trauma and parenting outside of trauma. Our FEARLESS programs offer adult personal growth groups and mindfulness training for those who wish to continue attending sessions. Age appropriate life strategy sessions are available for children and teens weekly. We had 61 individuals participate in our FEARLESS Family event in 2025.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 94% 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. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
