Overview

Mission

Provide outdoor activities to wounded military veterans and their families.

What it reported doing in 2024

Provided whitetail deer and turkey hunting at ranch. Hunts were also hosted at offsite locations in Virginia and Florida with a high success rate.

All veterans and family have access to a stocked trout pond and access to the cheat river.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 88% 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 some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
