Overview

Mission

Training and Supports for Veterans, First Responders and their Families, we specialize in entrepreneurial training but that is not the only kind of support we provide.

What it reported doing in 2024

Entrepreneurial Training Program, Veterans Business Week and VetsFest, we trained 4200, helped launch 200+ new businesses and helped fund more than $300K in small business loans through community lenders

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 a large share of total spending goes to programs. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
