What Ruck-Up Inc does
Mission
To help veterans in crisis or need, and help solve financial, physical, or advocacy needs that cannot be met by means of mainstream veteran's organizations, or the veteran's administration alone.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
Program narrative and services breakdown: since it's very humble beginnings as an idea around a picnic table at surry dam park, ruck up's efforts and goals have focused on trying to help veterans in new england by "filling the gap" on services and assistance that other organizations miss or are unable to help with.

All this is done by volunteers, and with donations or grants only. We receive absolutely no state or federal funds. In 2020 we served 363 vets and families in new england, rising to 402 in 2021, spiking to 730 in 2023, and this 457 this year in 2024.advocacy services- ruck up provides free advocacy and assistance services for va and social security claims in our catchment area. In 2021, that meant more than $1,480,355 in benefits and services "won" on behalf of our client veterans we serve, over $1,640,000 in 2023.

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 2018 to 2019, from $16k to $69k (+333%).
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.
92% of RUCK-UP INC’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (91% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 0 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2018 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 4 funders, grant income rose $8k → $33k.
2 of 8 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 23% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of RUCK-UP INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. 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
RUCK-UP INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 28% of grant income and the top three 68%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
35% 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 RUCK-UP INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2018 100% · 2019 100% · 2020 96% · 2021 45% · 2022 46% · 2023 67% — 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
25% of RUCK-UP INC's funders are still giving 2 years after their first grant; 88% 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
53% of RUCK-UP INC's grant income comes from New Hampshire funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $33k 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.
