What Priory of the Pacific Order of St John Knights Hospitaller Commandery does
Mission
The Commandery mission is to provide support in the greater San Francisco Bay Area for service veterans injured in recent conflicts. This is achieved by raising funds, from our members' donations and from the public, for carefully selected local veterans programs. The selected programs are scrutinized and monitored to ensure effective benefits to the veterans and best use of funds. In many cases, our members also play an active role in the programs we choose to support. We are an all-volunteer membership organization, with no paid staff or Board.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Program
We aim to help veterans in their daily lives and improving quality of life, in gratitude for how they served and protected our country. We organize fundraising events to solicit donations to provide contributions to selected veteran causes in the San Francisco Bay Area. We also participate in Operation Christmas Comfort which provides holiday care packages consisting of food and personal items for active duty military personnel.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
100% 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 Priory of the Pacific Order of St John Knights Hospitaller Commandery.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 100% · 2021 100% · 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
100% of Priory of the Pacific Order of St John Knights Hospitaller Commandery'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. $31k 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.
