Overview
Mission
To keep Americas veterans safe, independent, and at home by providing access to free or low-cost stair lifts and mobility solutions. We believe no veteran should have to face the dangers of stairs alone our mission is to restore dignity, prevent injury, and give back to those whove already given so much.
What it reported doing in 2025
We install stair lifts for low income veterans so they can stay safe at home.
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. Assets have declined or grown slowly and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
