Overview

Mission

Raise funds for veterans with medical needs.

What it reported doing in 2024

Raise funds for veterans with medical needs primarily but not exclusively via providing all aspects of compassionate or service dog placements.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent spending detail to tell whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filed totals do not add up and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
