What Hope for Heroes Texas does
Mission
Hope for Heroes Texas is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing prayer, support, and weekend retreats for our first responders who are in need of it most. We bring first responders to Boerne, Texas to stay at a beautiful hotel; send local first responders for a getaway to Fredericksburgs Inn on Barons Creek; host monthly first responder lunches; and more.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
The Boerne Getaway is specifically for our out-of-town heroes and includes a free nights stay at a beautiful hotel in Boerne, Texas. Upon arrival, our heroes are greeted by dozens of caring locals, breakfast tacos, and coffee. Then, theyre provided with a $400 gift card to spend while exploring historic downtown Boerne and an in-room gift basket courtesy of Texas Gourmet Pantry.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 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 2021 to 2022, from $42k to $8k (−80%).
How it's funded, over time

78% 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 HOPE FOR HEROES TEXAS.
