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.

Impact evidence

Describes programs. Its tax return describes what it does but we have found no measurable results in it.

Programs described in its return (4)
  1. $9,650 spent. F.I.T. (Mentally Fit with the Intention to Thrive) events equip and empower veterans and their adult loved ones to take control of their finances, retool for better employment, access their benefits, adjust to civilian life, find a new purpose, strengthen family bonds, advocate for their changing needs as they age, contribute to society in positive ways, evaluate their own mental health status, and support their battle buddies as they face life's challenges. FIT addresses the specific goals and challenges of our veterans by equipping them with techniques and skills to build mental fitness, to achieve personal and relational goals and to cultivate healthy patterns of engagement all along the veteran journey. A total of 106 individuals participated in 9 different events in the FIT program during 2025.
  2. $4,614 spent. FEARLESS Family is a four-week family enrichment workshop combining creative and life strategy sessions for all ages designed to equip families with the relational tools necessary for a thriving future together. FEARLESS uses the vocabulary of military training to help participants understand that unit cohesion and a shared purpose can happen within their own family unit, not just in battle. FEARLESS helps participants understand the difference between parenting while under the influence of trauma and parenting outside of trauma. Our FEARLESS programs offer adult personal growth groups and mindfulness training for those who wish to continue attending sessions. Age appropriate life strategy sessions are available for children and teens weekly. We had 61 individuals participate in our FEARLESS Family event in 2025.
