What Heroes Among US does
Mission
The primary purpose of Heroes Among Us is to raise funds for selected veteran and military programs in the North Texas area. In 2021 we supported a group of soldiers to attend a 4 day fishing trip sponsored by Patriot Anglers, an organization that has tremendous success with wounded military veterans through the art of fly fishing. Funds raised also went to our annual Christmas program in support of the active duty wounded warriors at the Soldier Recovery Unit at Ft. Cavazos, Texas.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Program
The primary purpose of Heroes Among Us is to raise funds for selected veteran and military programs in the North Texas area. Our primary efforts went to our annual Christmas program in support of the active duty wounded warriors at the Soldier Recovery Unit at Ft. Hood, Texas. We also brought a group of soldiers from the SRU on a fly fishing trip in conjunction with North Texas Patriot Anglers, a non profit that works with the recovery and healing of wounded veterans by teaching them the art of fly fishing. Heroes Among Us also supported Wreathes Across America and several individual contributions to local vets in need.
$0 spent
The program described on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ. Program spending in total: $0.
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.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2024 to 2025, from $7k to $15k (+109%).
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.
100% of HEROES AMONG US’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (97% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.
Who funds it, year by year
2018 → 2023: the base held at 1 funder, grant income fell $10k → $16.
1 of 2 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 0% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

How concentrated its funding is
HEROES AMONG US leans on a few funders — its largest provides 100% of grant income and the top three 100%; half comes from just 1 funder.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $88 arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state 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.
Against its field
HEROES AMONG US runs a healthier operating margin than three-quarters of the 2,277 public benefit nonprofits its size.
