Our programs are designed to heal moral injuries sustained while serving our communities and country and provide tools to navigate life's challenges. The urban explorers program provides warriors that have been through an awa program a unique opportunity to continue their service by mentoring at-risk youth in america's underserved communities.this program brings urban youth to the rocky mountains each summer to teach them outdoorsman skills and mentor the next generation in the values of freedom and love for one's nation. Urban explorers will establish impactful relationships and have a lasting positive affect on not only our nation's warrior class, but also the next generation of leaders. The contract leader program allows past participants to complete a training course to become a leader on future awa programs. Contracted leaders are paid $1,500.00 and all travel expenses are covered for each program they facilitate.

The organization over time

Each line starts at 100 in 2018, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2018, 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.

03Who funds it

Who funds it, year by year

2020 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 6 funders, grant income rose $50k → $74k.

7 of 22 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 40% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

From the IRS filings of AMERICAN WARRIOR ASSOCIATION’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.

How concentrated its funding is

AMERICAN WARRIOR ASSOCIATION has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 18% of grant income, and it takes 4 funders to reach half.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 4 funders to its left

48% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund AMERICAN WARRIOR ASSOCIATION.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $297k arriving through sponsors registered in 6 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been.
