Overview

Mission

Mission is to honor, support and promote healing of the mind and spirit by providing a relaxed setting and a safe harbor and to be a resource for any military service member, veteran, fire fighters, law enforcement, blue star or gold star family member whose life has been touched and forever changed by the death of a fallen warrior. We provide a safe refuge and bring about healing and hope to all veterans and military service members who have returned from the battlefield.

What it reported doing in 2024

Project corregidor grief & peer mentor program is a program involves a network of veterans who have experienced the pain that stems from the death of a military service member while serving in the armed forces. These veterans who go through our program will be trained to be peer mentors to support current military service members who have been affected by a similar tragedy. The peer mentors will help these military survivors to grieve their losses in their own unique ways. To help them draw upon their own strengths and to develop healthy coping mechanisms and to assist these military survivors to integrate into the civilian sector upon leaving the military.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 90% 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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and liabilities are high compared with assets.
