What Wounded Waters Inc does
Mission
Provide Outdoor Adventures to wounded warriors such as combat veterans, active duty military, & 1st responders as a relief from stress and PTSD.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
On its FY2025 return the organization reported starting a significant new program.
Food Distribution Program
Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 2).
During the year ended December 31, 2025, Wounded Waters, Inc. served veterans and first responders through its core programs of therapeutic fishing trips, scuba diving certification, and food distribution. The Organization conducted multiple fishing trips between February and August, serving a total of 13 veterans and first responders across scheduled outings. Wounded Waters became affiliated with SDI (Scuba Divers International) for dive training, purchasing six e-learning courses and certifying seven individuals in diving during the year. The Organization hosted the Circle of Heros Dive in September, with 13 veterans and first responders attending over two days. In March, the Organization purchased three steers, one goat, and one pig at the Indian River County Youth Livestock and Horticulture auction during the Firefighters Fair, coordinating with Dogs For Life, Inc. to distribute the meat to veteran and first-responder families.

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 2022 to 2023, from $74k to $23k (−69%).
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 Wounded Waters Inc’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (84% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2022 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 2 funders, grant income rose $5 → $535.
2 of 4 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 51% 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 Wounded Waters 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
Wounded Waters Inc leans on a few funders — its largest provides 51% of grant income and the top three 100%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
92% 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 Wounded Waters Inc.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2022 100% · 2023 93% — 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.
Where its funders are
51% of Wounded Waters 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 $10k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from Florida funders.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $10k 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.
