What America Matters does
Mission
America Matters was formed to engage in advocacy and education regarding the necessity of a strong national defense and the need to assist america's armed forces veterans, including invisible injuries such as ptsd, tbi, and chronic pain. America Matters is dedicated to engaging the public, government officials, and all stakeholders to recognize these issues as priorities for the united states.

[a nonpartisan congressional fellowship program is also planned, that will train, support and place veterans in congressional offices for a defined period of time to learn first-hand about policy making and contribute their knowledge and skills in the policy realm]

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2019 to 2020, from $542k to $20k (−96%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
0% of AMERICA MATTERS’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (77% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 5 reported years ran a deficit.
