Overview

Mission

To provide therapeutic support to injured and disabled veterans, active military personnel and their families and to assist in their reintegration into civilian life primarily through paricipatory outdoor activites.

What it reported doing in 2024

Participatory sports - organizing and conducting participatory sporting events and other outdoor activities for injured and disabled veterans and active military personnel in coordination with unpaid volunteers who provide a suppportive family-like atmosphere. The organization is aware that many veterans are beset with post-traumatic disorders and recognize the need to ameliorate this condition through participation in sports like hunting, sports car racing and camping. The organization assists in giving veterans a chance to recover their emotional balance and sense of being cared for as they attempt to reintegrate their lives as civilians in arenas outside the zones of conflict.

Operating 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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
