What Elderheart Inc does
Mission
Warriors helping warriors through community projects. Our mission is to raise awareness for ptsd, tbi, and the veteran suicide epidemic.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Elderheart brings together veterans and their communities through large scale public works of art. Our art installations raise awareness across america for the issues that veterans are facing today. In developing these art pieces, a partnership is created between veterans and civilians. Integrating these veterans back into our communities results in their long term growth and sense of purpose. Storytelling and a shared sense of community are created which breaks down barriers and walls, with growth and healing for both parties. A healing which would never otherwise have taken place.
Through mission 22's peer-to-peer social impact programs, we educate the public on the difficulties veterans are facing today, such as post- traumatic stress, and traumatic brain injury, and help them get involved to support veterans in their communities. This program has expanded to all fifty states as well as numerous international groups. Ambassadors, many of whom are veterans themselves, spark dialogue and create events to educate the public, raise funds for mission 22 programs. It brings together veterans and private citizens in peer support communities. These ambassadors strive to involve veterans in group activities that empower them to become part of something bigger than themselves. A bigger family, group, or community of veterans and citizens united with one common goal, to strengthen each other through peer support and enable the veterans to resume living the american dream. Over half of mission 22's ambassadors are veterans, while many of the rest have direct ties with veterans in their lives, creating a natural peer-to-peer support network for all.

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 2020 to 2021, from $3.2M to $6.2M (+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.
96% of ELDERHEART INC’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (63% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 5 funders to 32 funders, grant income fell $561k → $512k.
15 of 102 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 79% 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 ELDERHEART INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 102 funders by total. 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
ELDERHEART INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 54% of grant income and the top three 81%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
95% 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 ELDERHEART INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 69% · 2018 71% · 2019 58% · 2020 70% · 2021 75% · 2022 70% · 2023 42% — 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
31% of ELDERHEART INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 40% 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
79% of ELDERHEART 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 $1.4M that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from funders outside Oregon, across 32 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $5.2M arriving through sponsors registered in 12 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.
