What Military Family Advisory Network Inc does
Mission
Our mission is to understand and amplify the needs of military-connected families and inspire data-informed change.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
On its FY2025 return the organization reported starting a significant new program.
During the federal government shutdown, when military families were faced with pay disruptions, mfan launched the emergency grocery support program. This direct response effort provided a week's worth of food to 6,685 military families across all 50 states.
Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 2).
Conduct research and elevate challenges.mfan lauched its newly rebranded military family 360 in 2025, the largest independent survey of military families nationwide. Results of the latest effort will be released in june 2026. Mfan's prior research was referenced in more than 2,000 media stories in 2025, yielding a potential reach of 4.4b. At the forefront of mfan's research efforts is a peer-leader advisory board. A representative group of military and veteran spouses whose pulse on local and national experiences informs mfan research and programmatic design. Welcoming a new cohort in 2025, this group meets virtually each month and three times per year in person. Not only do advisory board members inform mfan work, they also participate in professional development opportunities, equipping them with skills and resources to grow as a peer leader.

The program also expanded to fort bliss and camp lejeune (also serving mcas cherry point and mcas new river) in 2025, serving 516 and 751 families respectively. Upon arrival to their new installations, families receive a restock kit that provides them with household items that need to be replaced during each move (e.g., pantry staples, cleaning supplies), valued at $150. Families experiencing food insecurity are also provided three months of groceries to help them get on their feet following a military move.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 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 2023 to 2024, from $1.6M to $2.9M (+78%).
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: 2021 2%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
83% of MILITARY FAMILY ADVISORY NETWORK INC’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (81% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2018 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 6 funders, grant income rose $25k → $268k.
12 of 32 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 13% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

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
MILITARY FAMILY ADVISORY NETWORK INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 32% of grant income and the top three 63%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
70% 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 MILITARY FAMILY ADVISORY NETWORK INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2018 100% · 2019 100% · 2020 50% · 2021 39% · 2022 31% · 2023 84% — diversifying over time.
“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
50% of MILITARY FAMILY ADVISORY NETWORK INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 34% 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
MILITARY FAMILY ADVISORY NETWORK INC draws 100% of its grant income from funders outside Virginia, across 13 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $391k arriving through sponsors registered in 9 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.
