$24,428 spentof which $24,428 as grants66% of program spendingAs reported previously, the Lynchburg Area Veterans Council Inc purchased the residential property located at 1309 garfield avenue city of lynchburg virginia; the birthplace and childhood home of desmond t doss, wwii medal of honor recipient whose story was made famous in the hollywood movie "hacksaw ridge". We dedicated this home on october 19, 2019 as the "desmond t doss veterans home." a total of eight previously homeless veterans have lived there since then. The expenses listed above represent real estate taxes, insurance, maintenance, and utilities of this 116 year old frame house. We are unable to put a price on the value of providing quality shelter for eight veterans who were living on the streets in central virignia.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 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 2022 to 2023, from $153k to $169k (+10%).

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
61% 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 LYNCHBURG AREA VETERANS COUNCIL INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 100% · 2021 99% · 2022 100% · 2023 100% — broadly stable.
“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.
Where its funders are
61% of LYNCHBURG AREA VETERANS COUNCIL 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 $10k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from funders outside Virginia, across 1 state.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $15k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 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.
