Programs
Prosthetics: over the past 12 months, we've had an incredibly successful year. We received a large volume of supplies and medical equipment that we were able to distribute to members, their families, veterans, and individuals in need throughout the arizona community.
$978,654 spentof which $873,831 as grants81% of program spendingAdvocacy: the chapter sent a new team from the board of directors to washington d.c. Each year with follow-up letters and visits, when possible, with arizona elected officials here at home.
$44,814 spent4% of program spendingHospital and services: establish and maintain working relationships with the va (veteran affairs) medical centers. We try to reach out to newly spinal cord injured or neurologically impaired persons and their families to re-introduce them back into society through personal contact, technical assistance, and education. We are working to re-establish a regular hospital visit program with the directors of all three hospitals. The sci clinic in prescott hospital was without a social worker until the end of our fiscal year. The new sw is very positive and wants to be included in azpva events. The phoenix hospital clinic currently has 320 sci/scd patients. Most of our inroads to meet with potential members have been with visits to the tucson and phoenix hospitals and have been through the sports programs.
$22,777 spent2% of program spendingOutreach: the visits to the tucson va provided us with 2 female members to represent the arizona chapter at the national pvas woman's veterans empowerment retreat. We were able to give away a roof repair to a deserving vetran through a national pva program. Next on our list was finding two menbers to receive recycled vehicles from the national autobody council. One of our worthy members received a 2012 toyota sienna van with a six-way power seat, hand controls, and a powerlift. Our second member was awarded a 2017 chevrolet silverado. We also gave away food boxes, a bag of fruit, and turkeys at the phoenix sci/d clinic. Membership and benefits: added 23 new members and 25 members passed during the year; assisted veterans in obtaining an aggregate of approximately 9.9 million in cash benefits through our nso office.

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.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2020 to 2021, from $1.1M to $1.5M (+42%).
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.
Government-grant reliance: 2021 3%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 7 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 7 funders, grant income rose $4k → $37k.
5 of 13 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 65% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

ARIZONA CHAPTER PARALYZED VETERANS OF AMERICA INC has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 24% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
85% 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 ARIZONA CHAPTER PARALYZED VETERANS OF AMERICA INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 100% · 2019 85% · 2020 77% · 2021 74% · 2022 90% · 2023 45% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. 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 long its funders stay
40% of ARIZONA CHAPTER PARALYZED VETERANS OF AMERICA INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 38% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
65% of ARIZONA CHAPTER PARALYZED VETERANS OF AMERICA INC's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $71k that is directly attributable, 52% of it comes from funders outside Arizona, across 7 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $131k arriving through sponsors registered in 5 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. 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.
