FINANCIALS
How Your Support Fuels Our Mission
Combat Warriors Inc. is committed to clear, honest reporting about how donor dollars are spent. Below you’ll find our 2023 expense breakdown, a short explanation of the numbers, and details about how your gift supports veterans and their families.
Our Commitment to Transparency
At Combat Warriors, transparency isn’t optional; it’s core to our mission. We publish our financial summaries so donors, partners, and veterans can see exactly how funds are used. This chart shows our 2023 expense allocation pulled directly from our tax return totals.
Quick takeaway: over 94% of funds support direct program services (events, veteran support, family assistance). Small portions cover necessary management and fundraising costs that allow the organization to operate responsibly and grow our reach.
THE REAL IMPACT OF
Program Services
When you give to Combat Warriors, your donation directly funds services and programs that change lives:
Outdoor events: guided hunting and fishing trips that build camaraderie and mental health support for combat veterans.
Family assistance: emergency help, grief support, and financial aid for widows, Gold Star families, and children.
Camps & getaways: restorative experiences for veterans and their families to reconnect and heal.
These programs are the reason donors trust us, and why so much of our budget is directed straight into the field.
Management & Fundraising
MATTERS
A small portion of funds (management & general, fundraising) pays for essentials that make program delivery possible and scalable:
Administrative operations (banking, mail, insurance) that keep the nonprofit compliant and secure.
Fundraising costs that bring new donors and sponsors on board so we can host more events.
Technology and tools (website, registration, event scheduling) to serve veterans efficiently.
We work hard to keep these costs low while maximizing program impact.
“Combat Warriors will always have an all-volunteer Board of Directors who will receive no salary nor compensation so that our warriors are the ones who benefit from donations we receive.”
— President Bill Warren
