What Wild Bill Guarnere Memorial Fund does
Mission
On march 8, 2014 we lost an iconic philadelphia war hero, william "wild bill" guarnere. Wild bill, a south philadelphia native, was a member of east company, in the 101st airborne division of the united states army during world war ii, where he was wounded in action and lost a leg. Guarnere became famous after being portrayed by actor frank john hughes in the 2001 hbo miniseries band of brothers, produced by steven spielberg and tom hanks. Together with his best friend, babe heffron and author robyn post, they wrote "brothers in battle - best of friends". Wild bill continued serving his country by donating to various charities, children and individuals in need throughout his life. Through fundraising efforts, the guarnere family would love to keep the tradition going in wild bill's name so that his name and generosity will live on forever. The Wild Bill Guarnere Memorial Fund's purpose is to raise money for a statue and continue to donate to veterans, veterans families and/or children
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990-EZ.

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 at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2022 to 2023, from $4k to $19k (+345%).
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.

1 of 1 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 100% 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 WILD BILL GUARNERE MEMORIAL FUND’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.
Where its funders are
100% of WILD BILL GUARNERE MEMORIAL FUND'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. Too little is directly attributable to place on a map.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $335 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.
