Funding pattern

What this funder pays for, at what size, and how to position adjacent work. Read from their filings, with every number checked against the record.

Where the money goes

Intensive PTSD/TBI clinical programs at four academic medical centers
Emergency financial aid and housing for wounded veterans' families
Transition, employment and entrepreneurship programs for separating service members
Caregiver, military spouse and military children support
Peer connection, adaptive sports, service dogs and arts therapy
Alaska-based veteran mental health and suicide prevention partners

Typical grant

Median grant is $200,000 and the middle half runs $97,463 to $400,000, which is where nearly every community nonprofit sits. The outliers are four clinical partners (Mass General, Rush, Emory, UCLA Health Sciences) that each took $4.7M to $14.4M in both 2022 and 2023, plus a $4,000,000 transfer to the Wounded Warrior Project Long Term Support Trust. Repeat giving is the norm: Travis Manion, Operation Homefront, Red Cross, Green Beret Foundation, US VETS, Boulder Crest, Our Military Kids, Dog Tag and the four medical centers all appear in consecutive years at similar or slightly increased amounts.

Their words

Phrases from their own grant descriptions, worth speaking back to them.

“WARRIOR”
“MILITARY FAMILIES”
“VETERANS”
“RESILIENCE”
“MILITARY KIDS”

Positioning adjacent work

Tie clinical or research work to the four-site model at Mass General, Rush, Emory and UCLA.
Non-clinical programs should ask $100,000 to $400,000, not seven figures.
Frame outcomes around post-9/11 wounded veterans plus caregivers and children, not veterans generally.
Alaska work has a live cluster: Anchorage Community Mental Health, Armed Services YMCA, Gold Star Peak.

Worth knowing: Four academic medical centers absorb roughly two thirds of all dollars, and the remaining money goes to a stable roster of national veteran service organizations that get renewed year after year, so new names rarely enter the list. Grant purposes are filed only as "SEE SCHEDULE I, PART IV," so the giving pattern has to be read from who repeats and at what level, and it reads as partnership-driven rather than responsive.
