Financial health
We do not score finances when yearly spending is very small or the return has too little detail. The ratios stop meaning much at that size.

Governance
This organization files the short tax form, which does not ask about boards, policies or audits. That is normal for a small charity and is not a mark against it.

- $82,675 spent. IN 2010 A GROUP FROM THE HIGH POINT AREA DISCUSSED THE DIFFICULTIES EXPERIENCED BY YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN RETURNING FROM OPERATION ENDURING FREEDOM, OUR THEN CURRENT OPERATIONS IN IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN. OUR SOLDIERS, MARINES, SAILORS AND AIRMEN ARE ENGAGED IN THE LONGEST WAR IN THE HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES AND THE SIZE OF OUR FIGHTING FORCE IS THE SMALLEST IT HAS BEEN IN RECENT HISTORY. AS A RESULT, OUR SERVICEMEN AND WOMEN WERE EXPERIENCING MULTIPLE DEPLOYMENTS; SOME AS MANY AS TEN WITH THREE OR FOUR DEPLOYMENTS DURING THIS TIME PERIOD BEING COMMON. MANY OF THESE WHO'VE SERVED MULTIPLE DEPLOYMENTS ARE NATIONAL GUARD AND RESERVE, AND NOT EVEN FULL TIME SOLDIERS. THOUSANDS OF FIRST LITTLE LEAGUE GAMES, DANCE RECITALS, BIRTHS, AND OTHER MILESTONE OCCASIONS IN THEIR LIVES AND THE LIVES OF THEIR FAMILIES HAVE BEEN MISSED. AS CITIZENS WHO APPRECIATE THE SACRIFICES AND EFFORTS OF THESE BRAVE YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN, THE GROUP FORMED ENDURING GRATITUDE WWW.ENDURINGGRATITUDE.ORG, A 501C3 CHARITABLE NON-PROFIT FEDERAL TAX ID 27-4873506 WITH THE EXPRESS PURPOSE OF PROVIDING THESE, WHO HAVE VOLUNTEERED, SERVED, AND SACRIFICED WITH A MEMORABLE EXPERIENCE IN THE OUTDOORS AS AN EXPRESSION OF OUR GRATITUDE. WE HAVE RECENTLY CHANGED OUR ELIGIBILITY TO INCLUDE ALL THOSE WHO HAVE SERVED IN CONFLICTS AND PUT THEIR LIVES ON THE LINE FOR OUR FREEDOM. UNLIKE MANY SIMILAR ORGANIZATIONS, THERE ARE NO PAID EMPLOYEES OF ENDURING GRATITUDE. SINCE OUR INCEPTION, WE'VE HOSTED MULTIPLE EVENTS INCLUDING BIRD HUNTS, DEER HUNTS, TURKEY HUNTS, AND WATERFOWL HUNTS FOR SOLDIERS ACROSS OUR STATE. OUR 2025 ENDURING GRATITUDE EVENT FOR VETERANS WAS HELD ON FEBRUARY 8 WITH A PHEASANT TOWER SHOOT AND SPORTING CLAY SHOOT AT BEAVER POND SPORTING CLUB. THIS WAS A DAY THAT TRULY HONORED OUR VETERANS. OVER 150 VETERANS ATTENDED. MORE THAN 140 VOLUNTEERS PARTICIPATED DONATING COUNTLESS HOURS OF TIME TO MAKE THIS A MEMORABLE EVENT. WE PREPARED MEALS, PROVIDED OUR PARTICIPANTS WITH EVERYTHING THEY NEEDED TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS EVENT, ALL OF THIS AT NO COST TO OUR VETERANS. EACH VETERAN WAS GIVEN A BAG WITH SOCKS, TSHIRTS, HATS, EAR AND EYE PROTECTION, AND VARIOUS OTHER SWAG BAG ITEMS. AT LUNCH THERE WAS A GUEST SPEAKER WHO WAS ALSO A VETERAN. MANY GAVE VERY INSPIRATIONAL SPEECHES. THERE WAS ALSO A RAFFLE OF VERY GENEROUS DONATIONS GIVEN BY OUR SPONSORS. OUR WEBSITE, WWW.ENDURINGGRATTUDE.ORG, HAS PICTURES OF THE EVENTS OF THAT DAY.
