What it reported doing in 2024

The warrior alliance (twa) mission is to drive collaboration of veteran services that enable warriors and their families to achieve transition success and fulfill a life of purpose within their communities. Addressing and resolving veteran transition complexities is the cornerstone of twa's business strategy. Through a seamless integration of a "high-tech" platform and "high-touch" platform, twa is able to connect the concern, generosity, and resources of our local governments, corporate community, faith-based organizations, nonprofits, and education institutions with the specific needs of these military families. As the convener of people and organizations, twa's primary role is to establish and drive a connected business network in partnership with premier veteran service organizations (vso) and public sector institutions to deliver one of the nation's leading community-based collaboration programs. This initiative provides a seamless veteran services process that guides and empowers veterans and their families to access hollistic services relating to their health, finance, housing, recreation, relationships, employment, community, education, spiritual, and benefits needs. As part of the collaborative program, the warrior alliance is driving one of the nation's most unique training and employment programs to re-skill veterans with barriers to employment for careers in the private sector. The program is called operation double eagle and consists of the renovation of the augusta municipal golf course (amgc) by veterans who will be trained in many facets of construction, heavy equipment, turf management, irrigation, operations, maintenance, mechanics, and horticulture. Once certified, veterans going through the program will be candidates for immediate job opportunities with twa partner employers.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 67% 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 most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
