Overview

Mission

Assist and support veterans and veterans organizations.

What it reported doing in 2024

Assist and support veterans and veterans organizations alone and through state and national offices, serve as honor guars at funerals, parades, community events, and youth group events.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Transfer-based 990-EZ. The 990-EZ reports grants or member benefits, but it does not separate enough spending to show the nonprofit’s full delivery mix.

The verdict

REVIEW - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
