Overview

Mission

The suicide rate among u.s. Service members and veterans is staggering. Year after year these numbers continue to climb, and there is proof that the dod and veteran affairs (va) drastically under-report these numbers. For us here at the ultimate sacrifice foundation, this is unsatisfactory. We have made it the primary tenet of our mission to help our military communities fight and win these invisible battles.

What it reported doing in 2024

The ultimate sacrifice foundation is dedicated to improving the health, well-being, and resilience of our nation's service members, veterans, and gold star 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

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and program spending has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
