Overview

Mission

The foundation was organized to empower and assist active duty military members and their families, as well as veterans and their caregivers.

What it reported doing in 2024

Red, white and bundled - the foundation collects donations and purchases items such as diapers and children's clothing and distributes them to members of the military and their families.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% 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. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
