Overview

Mission

Operation resolute is dedicated to sustaining and strengthening men and families within the us armed forces by serving with and working through military chaplains. Operation resolute does this by offering outdoor events, one day marriage enrichment seminars and family retreats.

What it reported doing in 2025

The program partners with chaplains to provide resiliency retreats to service members and their families. The program also partners with the military at the unit level to provide hunting and fishing trips to further military family resiliency.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 95% 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 most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
