What House of Heroes Inc does
Mission
The mission of House of Heroes, Inc. shall be to recognize and honor military and public safety veterans and/or their spouses who have served our nation faithfully and sacrificially. Through services to these veterans and spouses, House of Heroes volunteers attempt to convey our nations gratitude by honoring them and making minor repairs to their homes at no cost to the homeowner/veteran. Moreover, House of Heroes encourages community partnerships, leadership and service, team building and volunteerism.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
House of Heroes improves the living conditions of military and public safety veterans-and their spouses-who need assistance maintaining their homes. We recruit community volunteers to provide the labor and skilled support for each selected project day, while supplying the basic materials needed to complete the repairs. Each home is carefully assessed to identify the most urgent needs. We then raise the necessary funds to cover all project costs, train volunteers, and oversee the workday to ensure repairs are completed safely and effectively.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2021: the base narrowed from 3 funders to 2 funders, grant income rose $32k → $40k.
4 of 8 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 54% 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 HOUSE OF HEROES INC’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
HOUSE OF HEROES INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 31% of grant income and the top three 72%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
59% 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 HOUSE OF HEROES INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 63% · 2018 75% · 2019 50% · 2020 42% · 2021 88% — growing more concentrated.
“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
20% of HOUSE OF HEROES INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 50% 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 FY2021, 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
54% of HOUSE OF HEROES 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 $97k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from Georgia funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $114k arriving through sponsors registered in 4 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.
