Programs
Education and outreach-To ensure that Veteran, Service Members and their spouses have continued access to effective trauma therapy our organization is steadfast in its commitment to heal from trauma, including PTSD and Military Sexual Trauma. VRP is committed to educating the community, employers who hire Veterans, and the broader military network about the profound impacts of trauma, while fostering hope that healing is possible. In 2024, VRP expanded its outreach team to include three Outreach Coordinators, each dedicated to building strong partnerships across the state and ensuring that Veterans in rural communities receive the support they deserve. Our efforts reached new heights as we participated in over 100 events and engaged more than 12,000 community members with information about our services. VRP is also enhancing its outreach strategies through a robust social media presence, an updated website designed for ease of access and education, and specialized training programs on trauma-informed leadership for organizations. Together, we are creating a ripple effect of resilience and change, ensuring that every Veteran, Service Member, and spouse knows they are not alone on…

VRP delivered over 1,000 EMDR Therapy sessions in 2024, with the average client experiencing a remarkable 60% reduction in PTSD symptoms. This outcome further reinforces he substantial body of research supporting the effectiveness of EMDR therapy.

Due to a continual increase of clients VRP added a dedicated Care Coordinator in 2024 that works directly with the clients to ensure they are supported during the intake process and throughout the therapeutic experience. In 2024, VRP provided over 1000 EMDR Therapy sessions with the average client seeing their PTSD symptoms decrease by 60%. This outcome supports the significant research already provided on EMDR.

In 2024, we successfully hosted two training courses, adding over 20 new therapists to our network, bringing our total to 60 highly skilled professionals across Minnesota. This specialized training equips therapists with the unique military competencies required to effectively work with Veterans, Service Members, and their families, while simultaneously enhancing their EMDR therapy skills. Beyond the core training, therapists also received specialized instruction on Military Sexual Trauma (MST), ensuring they are fully equipped to address the complex needs of those who serve or have served. Therapists are offered free monthly consultations, providing ongoing clinical support and fostering continuous professional development.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2022, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2022, 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 2022 to 2023, from $59k to $133k (+124%).
How it's funded, over time

Who funds it, year by year
2019 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 5 funders, grant income rose $20k → $72k.
2 of 14 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.
From the IRS filings of Veteran Resilience Project 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
Veteran Resilience Project Inc leans on a few funders — its largest provides 40% of grant income and the top three 59%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
60% 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 Veteran Resilience Project Inc.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2019 100% · 2020 56% · 2022 100% · 2023 35% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration.

Where its funders are
87% of Veteran Resilience Project Inc's grant income comes from Minnesota funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $38k 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.
