VSP Gives Voice to the experiences of Veterans' spouses across generations by providing opportunities for creativity and healing through the arts while helping to bridge the gaps between civilian and military communities.

In 2024 we brought the play "in*Between" by Amy Uptgraft to New York and shared the stories of military spouses with. over 100 attendees.
$23,042 spent71% of program spendingHealing Through Creativity has created and maintained virtual community through workshops and classes that use creativity and expressive arts to provide a space for veteran spouses to tell their stories and find healing in community. Healing Through Creativity has been a lifeline to military spouses who feel isolated and alone as they bear the wounds of war and as they strive to put their families back together after long separations and deployments. Through the year we hosted 8 online workshops with 75 participants that gave them a safe space to share their story.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 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 2023 to 2024, from $35k to $45k (+29%).
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.
100% of VETERANS SPOUSE PROJECT’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (97% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 4 reported years ran a deficit.
Who funds it, year by year
2019 → 2023: the base held at 2 funders, grant income fell $26k → $5k.
2 of 5 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 25% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

VETERANS SPOUSE PROJECT leans on a few funders — its largest provides 58% of grant income and the top three 94%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
31% 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 VETERANS SPOUSE PROJECT.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2019 81% · 2020 100% · 2021 79% · 2022 100% · 2023 98% — growing more concentrated.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration.

VETERANS SPOUSE PROJECT draws 100% of its grant income from funders outside Tennessee, across 3 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $21k 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.
