Overview
Mission
Warfighter Made (WFM) Helps in Four Main WaysWFM adapts, and customizes a combat wounded Veteran's vehicle, so they can continue doing the things they enjoy, while their vehicle reflects their individual personality.WFM invites ill, injured and combat wounded Veterans to participate in their recreational therapy trips. These adventures include participating in Lucas Oil Off Road events, and out door adventures with their Polaris RZRs.WFM provides Camaraderie Therapy in our 4,000 sq ft facility, by inviting all vets, from all branches, and all eras, to hang out with other veterans building projects for combat wounded amputees, maintaining their therapy vehicles or simply socializing with men and women whove walked in the same boots, and shared some of your experiences.WFM works with other like minded nonprofits, businesses and individuals to ensure the Veteran gets the best experience possible.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 64% 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. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
