What Lost Soldiers Foundation Inc does
Mission
The Foundation raises funds through strictly private donations to memorialize the contributions of military men and women who lost their lives on the battlefields of America's wars.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990-EZ.
Program
Lost Soldiers Foundation raised additional funds for the 5th anniversary of the interment of 81 ARVN lost soldiers in October 2019, planned and coordinated the event with the City of Westminster, California, the United States Marine Corps, a retired U.S. Marine Corps Lieutenant General, and various vendors in Westminster, California. The Foundation ran a public relations campaign to promote the 5th anniversary event, held a VIP reception for the Mayor of Westminster and other officials the evening prior to the event and finally held the 5th anniversary event in Sid Goldstein Freedom Park in Westminster and later at the gravesite at Westminster Memorial Gardens in October.
The program described on its FY2024 Form 990-EZ.
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 at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2019 to 2020, from $96k to $90k (−7%).
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 Lost Soldiers Foundation Inc’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (100% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 5 reported years ran a deficit.
Who funds it, year by year
Grant support over time, funder by funder — shade shows the grant size each year.
1 of 1 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 100% 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 Lost Soldiers Foundation 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.
Where its funders are
100% of Lost Soldiers Foundation 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. Too little is directly attributable to place on a map.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $45k 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.
