Overview

Mission

Patriots Path is a non-profit organization that supports veterans, transitioning service members, and military spouses in finding meaningful employment opportunities by defining career goals, mapping out job search strategies, identifying opportunities, creating a marketing approach and connecting within our community to peers, mentors and coaches for continued networking and support.

What it reported doing in 2023

In spite of our necessary shift to online delivery for all courses and activitiesin 2020 and 2021, we continued to increase the number of Veterans served and held more courses and events year over year! With this new online platform, Patriots Path began serving Veterans from around the world as they prepared to separate from military service, growing from a more regional footprint in prior years. We also held our second "Women Veterans Only" course to focus on this diverse group. Additionally, Patriots Path formed a stronger partnership with Veterans Bridge Home (another regional Veterans Service Organization - nonprofit) to more seamlessly provide wraparound services for Veterans and their families.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
