01What it does

What Save a Warrior Inc does

Mission

Save a warrior saw is committed to ending the staggering suicide rate plaguing our veterans, active military and first responders. We conceive, originate and invent integrated intensive retreat iir experiences to transform the way our heroes live their lives.

As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.

Program

  1. Save a warrior operated 30 cohorts serving 323 veterans, active duty military and first responders. Each cohort is an innovative, 72 hour long, residential experience for veterans, active duty military and first responders living with posttraumatic stress pts. Each week or project is conducted in cohorts of 10-15 participants and consists of resiliency training for countering the devastating effects of pts, anxiety and depression. This is accomplished through an experiential learning model, where we focus on the immediate and lasting benefits of alternative methods and discuss the keys to understanding selfmotivation. This return boot camp or war detox uses evidence based techniques to educate warriors and provide them with healing opportunities that initiate longterm behavioral changes.

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.

85% 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 SAVE A WARRIOR INC.

first grant+1y+2y+3y+4y+5y+6y

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.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $1.9M arriving through sponsors registered in 12 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.
