Overview

Mission

To publish and disseminate information on health related issues and to educate the general public about the plight of our nations caregivers.

What it reported doing in 2024

Caregiver support kit - to provide support to caregivers through self-help, awareness and educational materials in the form of the caregivers support kit. The kit is provided free of charge to caregivers across the nation. In addition, we provide Care to Share packages filled with helpful items for veterans and their caregivers to share, free of charge.

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 a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
