What Warrior Music Foundation Inc does
Mission
Our mission is to serve our active duty military veterans and their families as they deal with the complexities of PTSD by providing a venue for learning healing and camaraderie using music lessons in both individual and group settings that is influenced by music therapy. At Warrior Music Foundation veterans military members and their families can enroll in individual music lessons that are tailored to their skill level - from beginner to virtuoso. In parallel we will facilitate group band sessions that foster camaraderie among students. These sessions will include coaches who are seasoned musicians who will work with the bands to shape their performances. The entire program will be facilitated by a team of music therapists who will ensure the instructors and students are both aligned to maximize the output of the lessons. Our therapists are a resource for the military members veterans and their families to use as much or little as they desire.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2019, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2019, 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 2024 to 2025, from $55k to $75k (+37%).
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 WARRIOR MUSIC FOUNDATION INC’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (84% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 7 reported years ran a deficit.
Who funds it, year by year
2019 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 5 funders, grant income fell $20k → $19k.
4 of 9 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 69% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

How concentrated its funding is
WARRIOR MUSIC FOUNDATION INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 35% of grant income and the top three 72%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
80% 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 MUSIC FOUNDATION INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2019 100% · 2020 51% · 2021 88% · 2022 93% · 2023 51% — 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
40% of WARRIOR MUSIC FOUNDATION INC'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
69% of WARRIOR MUSIC FOUNDATION INC's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $25k that is directly attributable, 72% of it comes from Maryland funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $55k arriving through sponsors registered in 4 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.
