What The Commit Foundation does
Mission
The Commit Foundation empowers those who have served and their families to create purposeful and fulfilling transitions by providing personalized programs, resources, and the support of community.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Commit's one-on-one transition assistance program is founded on the concept of identifying exactly where the veteran is in their transition journey, coaching them through a set of exercises designed to help them determine what lives they want to live post-service, and connecting them with people who can help make the life they've designed a reality. These services can include executive coaching, career counseling, professional resume writing, scholarships for skills training/degree programs, and interview preparation.

Led by professional facilitators, service members and veterans work through a series of modules focused on values, strengths, culture and opportunities to change perspectives and improve trajectories. Reinforcing integrity, family and the passionate pursuit of a meaningful career, service members and veterans hear from and personally engage with successfully transitioned leaders in the civilian workforce from a variety of industries. We take a hard look at the industries, interests and skills of workshop participants in order to align world class mentors from specific industries, backgrounds and locations to provide game changing value.

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 2019 to 2020, from $1.1M to $3.2M (+197%).
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.
Government-grant reliance: 2020 7% · 2021 13% · 2022 4% · 2025 10%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
97% of THE COMMIT FOUNDATION’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (81% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 5 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 7 funders to 24 funders, grant income rose $175k → $2.1M.
16 of 66 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 11% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

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
THE COMMIT FOUNDATION leans on a few funders — its largest provides 56% of grant income and the top three 67%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 29% · 2018 25% · 2019 28% · 2020 59% · 2021 24% · 2022 60% · 2023 61% — growing more concentrated.
“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
26% of THE COMMIT FOUNDATION's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 44% 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
THE COMMIT FOUNDATION draws 99% of its grant income from funders outside Montana, across 19 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $1.0M arriving through sponsors registered in 13 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.
