HELMETS OF HOPE INC
EIN 99-4233462 · Human Service Organizations (P20)
What they do
During Tax Year 2025, Helmets of Hope Inc. Provided A Total of 5,405 Household Supply and Food Items Either Directly to Veterans or to Its Community Partner Agencies (e.g. The VAs Community Resources and Referral Center In Davenport, Iowa). That Total Number of Supplies Included 107 "move-in Kits," Which Are 37-item Collections of Supplies Given to Vets Who Move Into Housing of Their Own Having Faced Homelessness or Other Forms of Housing Crisis. Its Not Possible for Us to Specify A Specific Number of Veterans We Served In Tax Year 2025 Because Vets ALSO Receive Our Items In An A La Cate Fashion From Our Partner Agencies. Were Not Told How Many Vets Receive Our Items. A Conservative Guesstimate Would Be 200+ Vets Served During The Year.
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.
Money in and money out
Reported spending amounts
Mission work means the Form 990 category called program services. These are reported accounting categories—not an independent measurement of results.
