What they do
AFTER MUCH INVESTIGATION AND RESEARCH IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT WHILE THE VETERANS ADMINISTRATION DOES AN EXCELLENT JOB OF HEALING AND REHABILITATING COMBAT WOUNDED VETERANS, IT FALLS SHORT WHEN IT COMES TO RETRAINING AND FINDING PURPOSEFUL AND MEANINGFUL EMPLOYMENT. SEVERAL LIKE MINDED INDIVIDUALS SAW THE NEED TO PROVIDE THE TYPE OF WORK ENVIRONMENT IN A FIELD THAT SOUGHT TO INCLUDE MANY OF THE SKILLS AND ATTITUDES THESE VETERANS ALREADY POSSESSED THANKS TO THEIR MILITARY TRAINING. WHILE REMEMBERING THE MENTAL AND PHYSICAL CONDITION OF YOUNG WARRIORS IN THE PRIME OF THEIR LIVES AND THEN SUDDENLY BEING SO SEVERELY WOUNDED THAT AN ENTIRE LIFE CHANGES IN A HEARTBEAT THAT WILL LAST A LIFE TIME, WE REALIZED JUST HOW WIDE THE VALLEYS AND HOW HIGH THE MOUNTAINS ARE THAT THESE TROOPS HAD TO TRAVEL. IT WAS THOUGHT THAT IF A REMEMBRANCE OF HAPPIER TIMES COULD BE INCORPORATED IN THE PROGRAM THEN TRUE FULFILLMENT AND CONTENTMENT CAN BE ACHIEVED, HENCE WHOLENESS WILL FOLLOW. HOW CAN THE DESPAIR, HOPE
Should I give to this charity?

Money made simple
Ask these three easy questions
- Who did you help? Ask for a recent story or report that shows real results.
- What will my money do? Ask exactly what your gift will pay for.
- Is this really the charity? Give only through its official website or confirmed phone number.
Bottom line: Do not decide from a name, mission statement, or tax status alone. Look at where the money went, then ask what changed, who was helped, and what your gift will do. YouCanGiveBack does not endorse or grade organizations.
Financial picture
A plain-language look at the latest Form 990 figures available. These numbers help you ask better questions; they do not, by themselves, rate whether a charity is good or bad.
How each $100 of revenue was used
The large number compares each expense with revenue. The smaller number shows its share of total expenses.
Gray means reported revenue left after expenses for this filing year. It does not necessarily mean cash sitting in a bank account.
Has the pattern changed?
Colored bars = expense mix: how each year’s expenses were divided. Total expenses vs. revenue shows whether the charity spent less or more than it received. The current filing is first.
Money in and money out
