Overview

Mission

Provide education, support and resources to the community at large: U.S. Armed Forces Service Members, Veterans, non-military and non-veteran people with disabilities, their families and caregivers, with special emphasis on brain illnesses. Our goal is to improve the quality of life and achieve the client's successful reintegration into the community.

What it reported doing in 2025

Access to Care Program: This program provides financial assistance and essential health-related support to children and young adults diagnosed with traumatic brain injury (TBI), stroke, or cerebral palsy. The program is designed to reduce financial barriers that limit access to critical medical care, rehabilitation services, and other supports necessary for recovery and long-term well-being. In 2025, as part of the Foundation's overall service delivery, 500 individuals received support through programs that improved access to care, stability, and quality of life. Assistance included support for medical copays, therapies, medications, and hospital-related expenses, helping families navigate financial barriers to essential services. The program also supported the purchase of necessary medical supplies for daily care and ongoing treatment. Additionally, participants received medical equipment such as wheelchairs, braces, and other mobility and support devices, contributing to the Foundation's distribution of more than 550 medical equipment items and assistive devices during the year. Accessibility modifications, including ramps, adaptive showers, and home safety improvements, were provided to enhance independence and safety. Transportation assistance, including medical-related rides, ensured consistent access to care and services. The program further promoted overall wellness by supporting activities that encourage physical, cognitive, and emotional healing, helping participants and their families remain engaged in recovery and daily life.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 84% 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.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and expenses are high relative to revenue.
