Overview

Mission

To serve as a conduit, connecting wounded and injured veterans to their successful and fulfilling civilian careers through education, development, and guidance.

What it reported doing in 2025

Educational/financial assistance - Provides educational support for severely wounded, injured or ill veterans that includes cash assistance for such things as room, board, books, tutoring, and living expenses. Our program provides benefits beyond what the VA provides to help meet the wounded veteran's financial needs and remove obstacles to achieve educational success. Retention, graduation, and job placement rates remain over twice the national average for veterans.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Hybrid. The nonprofit split its reported program spending across 74% for direct work, and 26% for grants.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and expenses are high relative to revenue.
