$4,549 spent2% of program spendingDuring bpva's 53rd year as a veteran's service organization, we carried out our mission of improving the lives of our members. We did this by awarding an accessible home modification grant and by providing financial support to our members who needed emergency assistance. In the spring, we participated in pva's advocacy week in washington dc, meeting with several of ohio's congresspeople and representatives to discuss the needs of our disabled veterans. We supported adaptive sports, including hosting the 2025 buckeye wheelchair games at spire academy in geneva, ohio in which over 50 wheelchair athletes competed in approximately a dozen different adaptive sports events. We communicated regularly with our members throughout the state by sharing a comprehensive quarterly newsletter, the buckeye banner, and by holding quarterly general membership meetings-- most recently in person at va locations around the state as well as virtual.

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.
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 $1.9M to $2.8M (+48%).
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.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 5 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
