Warrior Reunion Foundation

“1. Part 1, Line 16: Other Expenses: Our organization provides all funding and planning support to provide reunions to units that deployed to combat together. Each reunion supported throughout 2017 was delivered at no-cost the veterans we served. During the course of 2017 our organization provided 3 reunions which reconnected over 200 combat veterans and Gold Star family members. Our organization covers all costs for each reunion, including but not limited to: food and lodging of all veterans and Gold Star family members, other associated host location costs, all meals for attendees, a Memorial Service, a community service project, various associated team-building group activities and excursions, commemorative gifts and travel support for attendees. 2. Part 1, Line 12: Salaries, compensation and other employee benefits: Each group of combat veterans we support is led through a guided 3-6 month planning process that priorities the efficient use of our resources and the effectiveness of the reunion experience. This guided process is directed by our Program Director, a combat veteran and purple heart recipient who is our only W2 employee throughout the organization. The Program Directors activities are solely devoted to leading the planning and execution of each reunion and as such his compensation is allocated 100% as a program expense. We have no other employees within the organization.Professional fees for this year include legal formation costs for the nonprofit organization, the maintenance of our website and reunion registration platform, and other administrative costs such as business cards and logo design. 3. Part III: Program Service Accomplishments: During 2017 Warrior Reunion Foundation provided 3 reunions to units of military veterans who deployed to combat together. During the course of these three reunions our organization reconnected over 200 combat veterans and multiple Gold Star Family members whose loved ones served with each of these units. Our organization measures outcomes across several key measures of performance, including:i. The level of positive impact on attendees of our reunions: primarily measured through voluntary post reunion surveys. ii. The utilization of support services accessed by veteran attendees with our partner organizations who deliver educational briefings: primarily measured through information sharing with our supporting partners (measurement pending).iii. Operational efficiency and fiscal responsibility: primarily measured through our fiscal performance. We strive to ensure maximum benefit of every donor dollar, directing over 90% of our resources directly to the reunion programs we deliver. The outcomes data we have collected during our first operating year contains both quantitative and qualitative measures of performance and effectiveness, captured through anonymous post-reunion surveys completed by our veteran participants. Key Attendee Metrics: a. Rebuilding Peer Support Networks: i. Over 68% of post-reunion survey respondents had not seen members of their unit in over 5 years.ii. Over 96% of post-reunion survey respondents said that attending their reunion strengthened their social connections with their military family.iii. Before their reunion less than 35% of attendees said they were likely to reach out to other members of the unit to discuss a personal issue or concern. After the reunion, over 70% said they were very likely to reach out to their peers for support when needed.b. Veteran Validated: 100% of survey respondents would recommend attending a reunion sponsored by Warrior Reunion Foundation to their veteran peers.”

“Warrior Reunion Foundation exists to connect combat veterans with the most valuable resource available to support their successful transition to life after military service: peer support from the brothers and sisters in arms with whom they served. Our reunions facilitate direct, personal connections between military veterans who served together in combat, thereby reactivating and nurturing the peer support network that has been validated as one of the most important determinants of health and well-being in myriad studies commissioned by the Dept of Veterans Affairs, the RAND corporation and others.”
