Overview

Mission

The veteran's outdoor fund (vof) strives to provide healing opportunities to veteran troops and their families through outdoor activities. Through activities like hunting, fishing, and hiking, we help troops find peace.

What it reported doing in 2021

Veterans outdoor fund (vof), formerly known as outdoor recreation heritage fund, inc. (orhf), was originally formed as paralyzed veterans of america outdoor recreation fund, a non-profit organization in Washington, dc in 2002. Orhf was controlled by the paralyzed veterans of america (pva), until its name was changed to above and control was changed to a new board. Vof provides healing of mind and spirit through outdoor activities for wounded soldiers and veterans. Vof is organized and operated exclusively for the purposes of promoting and sponsoring outdoor sports and recreation activities for veterans/troops of the armed forces. Vof hosts warriors with all types of injuries: parapalegics, amputees, burn injuries, and tbi and ptsd injuries. Vof's activities are devoted to establishing continued opprtunities for the funding of outdoor recreation activities, including archery, trapshooting, fishing and hunting. The vof's fundraising activities will support outdoor recreation programs that help people with physical disabilities lead fuller and healthier lives. Vof has sponsored many fundraising events and programs to this end. Annually, they hold a pheasant hunt where servicemen and women, veterans and their families participate in hunting competitions. The events bolster their self-esteem and enrich their lives and the lives of their loved ones.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 71% 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 - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of total spending goes to programs and expenses are high relative to revenue.
