Overview

Mission

Veteran outdoors inc mission is to honor our country's wounded veterans patriotism and sacrifice by providing quality hunting, fishing and related outdoor activities; raising public awareness of the therapeutic effect being outdoors has on the mental and physical disabilities of our country's wounded men and women.

What it reported doing in 2024

PROVIDED 271 OUTDOOR ACTIVITITY DAYS FOR 43 WOUNDED VETERANS.Over the past couple of years we have been able to refine many of our processes and have learned the golden band of execution lays in servicing fewer Veterans but improving the value of the experience. While there has been a consistent level of demand we have taken pride in knowing that we are providing the best adventures with the proper and appropriate level of care. This also leads to long term sustainability within our market space. To do this it puts a slightly heavier burden on our donor base but being our supporters live, know and understand our niche and the value added we have been able to meet our goals. We are also subject to the changing landscape of travel costs and equipment which has an applied fluctuation to our program costs. We have been able to take deserving Veterans to northern Canada, Alaska, Cabo San Lucas, Mexico which has been an amazing expanse to our ability levels.

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.
