Overview

Mission

Provide support to veterans support the va-veterans service officer program

What it reported doing in 2024

Assistance and counseling to veterans and their families through the VA Service Officer program sponsored by the State of Michigan and the Veterans Administration.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 88% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 99% 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. The filing does not identify recipients for some grant dollars and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
