What Shadow Vets does
Mission
The mission of Shadow Vets is to provide assistance to veterans wanting to change or further their lives through education, advocacy, and a nationwide network of resources.
As stated on its FY2020 Form 990-EZ.
Program
WE GOT YOU -360 : This program has served 47 veterans with over 5000 volunteer hours in total. It is split between helping veterans obtain VA benefits that they have earned and construction projects improving their lives, safety and accessibility in their homes. There was also transportation assistance to and from appointments to moving veterans from one home to another. With over 150 trees cut for veterans across a tri state area, Shadow Vets is slowly gaining capability thru the donation of equipment. Towards the end of the year, Shadow Vets has been taking on complete ADA remodels for disabled veterans, and with material being donated thru Home Depot and Lowes, we are increasing accessibility of veterans within their own homes.
The first program described on its most recent Form 990-EZ.

Where its funders are
SHADOW VETS draws 100% of its grant income from funders outside North Carolina, across 1 state in all.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $154 arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state 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.
