What Operation Ramp It Up for Veterans does
Mission
Our mission is to provide accessibility, freedom, and independence to military veterans, their family members, or ultimately anyone who may have a physical disability, by installing aluminum wheelchair ramps to their homes, when other traditional resources have been exhausted. We hope to enrich the lives of the ramp recipients by raising the necessary funds, coordinating the volunteers to perform the service, and completing the installation process of the ramp.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.

92% 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 OPERATION RAMP IT UP FOR VETERANS.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 100% · 2021 69% · 2022 96% · 2023 36% — diversifying over time.

Where its funders are

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $528k arriving through sponsors registered in 5 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.
