What Warrior Expeditions does
Mission
Warrior Expeditions is an outdoor therapy program that helps combat veterans transition from their wartime experiences through long-distance outdoor expeditions.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
In 2025, Warrior Expeditions supported 31 veterans in long-duration, long- distance outdoor therapy programs. These programs help combat veterans heal from their wartime experiences through outdoor expeditions, including: warrior hike on the appalachian trail; warrior bike on the great american rail trail; and warrior paddle on the mississippi river. Programs are full-time for 3-6 months and free of charge for participating veterans. Each veteran receive all the training, gear, and supplies necessary to complete a long-distance expedition, as well as a monthly budget for food resupply. Veterans receive general logistical support from volunteer veteran and community groups along the trails and weekly psychoeducational training from licensed clinical psychologists. In 2025, Warrior Expeditions also hosted 33 veterans in continuation-of-care warrior reunion programs. These are multi-day outdoor programs that encourage former participants to reconnect with each other and the principles of outdoor therapy.

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 2023 to 2024, from $451k to $259k (−43%).
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: 2018 15% · 2019 10% · 2020 9% · 2021 11% · 2022 13% · 2023 12% · 2024 21% · 2025 9%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
91% of WARRIOR EXPEDITIONS’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (91% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 3 funders to 9 funders, grant income rose $32k → $80k.
6 of 26 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 18% 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 WARRIOR EXPEDITIONS’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
WARRIOR EXPEDITIONS has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 16% of grant income, and it takes 5 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 5 funders to its left
42% 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 WARRIOR EXPEDITIONS.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 78% · 2018 41% · 2019 41% · 2020 27% · 2021 61% · 2022 40% · 2023 25% — diversifying over time.
“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
31% of WARRIOR EXPEDITIONS's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 50% 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
WARRIOR EXPEDITIONS draws 95% of its grant income from funders outside Virginia, across 15 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $83k arriving through sponsors registered in 6 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.
