What Leave No Veteran Behind does
Mission
Leave No Veteran Behind (lnvb) is a national 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that invests in veterans to build better communities thorugh employment training, transitional jobs, and our veteran educational debt relief scholarship. Lnvb invests in heroes who have served their country honorably and who seek to continue their service as assets in communities across america.
As stated on its FY2023 Form 990.
Programs
Through a partnership with chicago public schools, lnvb provides safe passage service to students attending schools in communities at risk to violence. Through a partnership with the department of family and support services, lnvb offers to expand the program's scope and offer year-round stem (science, technology, engineering, arts and math) based career paid apprenticeships for youth and paid teaching positions for veterans who already possess military taught technical skills through a transitional employment program, chicago steam corps. This program produces entrepreneurial, skilled laborers who understand the entire engineering process, from the research and development phase, to application of the design process (e.g. Creating and testing a prototype), and can then go on to apply the scientific method in high end manufacturing jobs.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2019, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2019, 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 $1.3M to $602k (−54%).
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: 2019 3% · 2021 2% · 2023 18%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
32% of LEAVE NO VETERAN BEHIND’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (82% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 of the last 5 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base narrowed from 4 funders to 3 funders, grant income fell $90k → $10k.
5 of 16 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 26% 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 LEAVE NO VETERAN BEHIND’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
LEAVE NO VETERAN BEHIND leans on a few funders — its largest provides 37% of grant income and the top three 81%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
67% 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 LEAVE NO VETERAN BEHIND.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 84% · 2018 93% · 2019 100% · 2020 57% · 2021 57% · 2022 54% · 2023 97% — 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 LEAVE NO VETERAN BEHIND's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 44% 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
88% of LEAVE NO VETERAN BEHIND's grant income comes from Illinois funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $717k 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.
