THESE MORTGAGE-FREE HOMES NOT ONLY HELP TO REMOVE THE FAMILY'S FINANCIAL BURDEN, BUT THEY ALSO HELP TO RESTORE THE INDIVIDUAL'S FREEDOM, AND ENABLE THE VETERAN TO LEAD A MORE INDEPENDENT AND PRODUCTIVE CIVILIAN LIFE. ALL HOMES WE GIFT ARE CONSTRUCTED, CUSTOMIZED AND BEAUTIFIED TO MEET THE NEEDS OF PHYSICALLY OR PSYCHOLOGICALLY DISABLED VETERANS AND THEIR FAMILIES, TO HELP IMPROVE THEIR DAY-TO-DAY QUALITY OF LIFE AND TO LEAD A HOPEFUL AND PROMISING FUTURE AHEAD. ON AVERAGE, THE ORGANIZATION REACHED MORE THAN ONE HOME EVERY 11 DAYS FOR AN ELEVENTH CONSECUTIVE YEAR IN 2023, AND HOPES TO REACH 40 HOMES ONCE AGAIN IN 2024, INCLUDING OUR MILESTONE 400TH HOME. WE'VE FOUND THAT THE GIFT OF A MORTGAGE-FREE HOME PROVIDES PERMANENT STABILITY AND A LIFE-CHANGING FOUNDATION FOR THE VETERAN TO PURSUE THEIR DREAMS, PROFESSIONALLY, ACADEMICALLY AND RECREATIONALLY, THAT THEY MIGHT NEVER HAVE IMAGINED FOLLOWING THEIR INJURIES, AND SETS THEM ON A PATH TOWARDS IMPROVING THEIR PHYSICAL HEALTH AND MENTAL WELLNESS ON A LONG ROAD TO RECOVERY. IT'S ALSO A GIFT THAT ALLOWS THE CHILDREN OF THE FAMILIES TO CREATE STABILITY IN THEIR LIFE AND ONE DAY INHERIT THE HOME. OFTEN A GIFT THAT WILL BE GENERATIONAL. IT'S TRULY AN HONOR TO SERVE THE AMAZING MEN AND WOMEN WHO HAVE COURAGEOUSLY SERVED AND SACRIFICED SO MUCH FOR ALL OF US AND FOR OUR COUNTRY. 501656 386900 PHYSICAL, MENTAL AND FINANCIAL WELLNESS - BUILDING HOMES FOR HEROES GOES WELL ABOVE AND BEYOND TO SUPPORT OUR VETERANS AND OUR FIRST RESPONDERS BY PROVIDING A FUNDAMENTAL BASIS FOR FAMILY CONNECTIVITY, HOPE AND HEALING, CAMARADERIE, COMMUNICATION AND PROMISE TOWARDS THEIR PHYSICAL HEALTH AND MENTAL WELL-BEING. ONE MAJOR ASPECT OF THIS IS IN 2023 WAS OUR GROWING PROGRAMS TO HELP WITH PHYSICAL HEALTH AND MENTAL WELLNESS. TO ACCOMPLISH THIS, WE SPONSORED HUNDREDS OF WORKSHOPS AND RETREATS ACROSS THE COUNTRY THAT TRAINED VETERANS AND FIRST RESPONDERS WITH ESSENTIAL SKILLS THAT AIM TO IMPROVE THEIR EVERY-DAY WELL-BEING, THEIR MENTAL HEALTH AND PERFORMANCE, THEIR PHYSICAL FITNESS, AND THEIR QUALITY OF LIFE. RANGING FROM TRADITIONAL TO INNOVATIVE SUPPORT, WE WERE ABLE TO SUPPORT MORE THAN 1,600 HEROES IN 2023 ALONE, AND HOPE TO SUPPORT MORE THAN 2,500 HEROES IN 2024. WE HAVE SUPPORTED VETERANS CLIMB THE WORLD'S TALLEST MOUNTAINS, AND WINNING MEDALS IN THE WARRIOR GAMES, INVICTUS GAMES AND INTERNATIONAL COMPETITIONS. WE ALSO HOST AN ANNUAL TEAM BUILDING FAMILY RETREAT, BRINGING TOGETHER MORE THAN 200 OF OUR VETERAN HOME RECIPIENTS AND THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS FOR THREE DAYS OF FAMILY FUN, FRIENDLY COMPETITION, CONNECTIVITY, NEW FRIENDSHIPS AND SPIRITED CAMARADERIE. THIS PROGRAM HAS BEEN EXTRAORDINARILY HELPFUL TOWARDS HELPING VETERANS REGAIN THEIR MILITARY CAMARADERIE WITH THEIR FELLOW SERVICEMEN AND WOMEN, AND ALSO HELPS THEM UNDERSTAND THAT THEY ARE NOT DEFINED BY THEIR INJURES, BUT HOW THEY CAN OVERCOME THEM. WITH MORE SUPPORT, WE HOPE TO FURTHER GROW THIS PROGRAM ON A NATIONAL SCALE. WITH REPORTS OF AS MANY AS 23 VETERAN SUICIDES A DAY, WE'RE FINDING THESE PROGRAMS TO BE AMONG OUR MOST IMPORTANT AS WE ENVISION THE FUTURE AHEAD. 327975 278922 EMERGENCY FUNDING - WITH ECONOMIC CHALLENGES CAUSING SIGNIFICANT HARDSHIP ALL-ACROSS THE COUNTRY, MORE FAMILIES ARE STRUGGLING THAN EVER BEFORE AND WE ARE RECEIVING AN EXTRAORDINARY NUMBER OF FINANCIAL CONCERNS, DAY-TO-DAY CONCERNS AND BANKRUPTCY CONCERNS. OUR EMERGENCY FUNDING PROGRAM ALLOWS US TO HELP VETERANS AND FIRST RESPONDERS DURING THESE HARD FINANCIAL TIMES, AS WELL AS SUDDEN LIFE-ALTERING MOMENTS IN THEIR LIVES. THESE MOMENTS CAN INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO, THE LOSS OF JOB, AN ILLNESS, OR A MAJOR REPAIR NEEDED AS A RESULT OF DISASTROUS WEATHER EVENTS SUCH AS HURRICANES, FLOODING OR TORNADOES. AS WELL, IT CAN SAVE A FAMILY FROM FORECLOSURE ON THEIR HOME AND HEARTBREAKING HOMELESSNESS. THE ORGANIZATION ALSO PROVIDES IMMEDIATE ASSISTANCE TO VETERANS WHO ARE EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS OR ARE ON THE BRINK OF HOMELESSNESS. ANOTHER MAJOR ASPECT OF HELPING VETERANS IMPROVE THEIR FINANCIAL WELL-BEING IS BY PROVIDING GUIDANCE TO MAINTAIN HOME EXPENSES AND MAINTAIN THEIR HOMES AND TO PLAN A SUCCESSFUL FUTURE AHEAD. TO ACHIEVE THAT END, WE OFFER PARTNERSHIPS WITH CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PROFESSIONALS TO ASSIST THEM THROUGH THEIR FINANCES AND HELP VETERANS AND THEIR FAMILIES FOCUS ON LIVING A PROMISING AND PRODUCTIVE LIFE, WHILE ALSO LEARNING ABOUT INVESTING AND SAVING FOR THE FUTURE. A MAJOR FOCUS OF THE FINANCIAL SUPPORT PROGRAM IS TO HIGHLIGHT THE IMPORTANCE OF MINIMIZING OR ELIMINATING DEBT ENTIRELY, AND THE FREEDOM IT PROVIDES TO LIVE AN EVER MORE HOPEFUL FUTURE AHEAD. BUILDING HOMES FOR HEROES IS ALSO SUPPORTING OUR VETERANS ACCOMPLISH THEIR DREAMS IN ACADEMICS FOLLOWING THEIR SERVICE. MANY OF OUR VETERANS GO ON TO CONTINUE THEIR EDUCATION WITH OUR ORGANIZATION'S SUPPORT. ALL OF THESE PROGRAMS ARE A LARGE PART OF OUR MISSION TO HELP OUR VETERANS BUILD BETTER AND BRIGHTER LIVES ABOVE AND BEYOND THE GIFTING OF A HOME. 11906515 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 68 0 1 15 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 11 11 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 AL AK AZ AR CA CO CT DC FL IL KS KY ME MD MA MI MN MS MO NJ NY NC ND OH OK OR PA RI SC TN TX VA WV GA HI LA NH NV WA WI X X X THE ORGANIZATION 5166849220 4584 AUSTIN BLVD ISLAND PARK NY 11558 X ANDREW PUJOL CEO & CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD 50.00 X X 0 0 0 NANCY MAURO CFO 40.00 X 117030 0 20470 KIMBERLY VESEY PRESIDENT AND GENERAL COUNSEL 40.00 X X 114127 0 18023 ANTHONY SIGILLITO DIRECTOR/TREASURER 15.00 X X 0 0 0 DAVID WEINGRAD SECRETARY 15.00 X 0 0 0 GEORGE SHERMAN DIRECTOR 4.00 X 0 0 0 JAMES CUMMINGS DIRECTOR 4.00 X X 0 0 0 JOHN MADISON DIRECTOR 6.00 X 0 0 0 JON SIGILLITO DIRECTOR 5.00 X 0 0 0 JOSEPH MCFARLAND DIRECTOR 6.00 X 0 0 0 MIKE BRODERICK DIRECTOR 4.00 X 0 0 0 PATRICK GAMBARO DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 TYLER MARK DIRECTOR 5.00 X 0 0 0 231157 0 38493 2 0 0 0 NVR INC 3850 FETTLER PARK DRIVE DUMFRIES VA 22025 CONSTRUCTION 433614 FLYING PEANUT PRODUCTION INC 2111 E CONCORD STREET ORLANDO FL 32803 MEDIA PRODUCTION 362805 HILL & KNOWLTON STRATEGIES PO BOX 101264 ATLANTA GA 30392 GLOBAL STRATEGIC COMMUNICATIONS 313825 PULTE GROUP INC - NE FLORIDA DIV 12724 GRAN BAY PARKWAY SUITE 200 JACKSONVILLE FL 32258 CONSTRUCTION 274614 PULTEGROUP SWFL #1075 24311 WALDEN CENTER DR SUITE 300 BONITA SPRINGS FL 34134 CONSTRUCTION 233641 7 438221 616161 12550321 4454249 13604703 221068 221068 1300266 1314735 -14469 -14469 -14469 294598 438221 294598 0 13811302 0 0 206599 9362312 9362312 231157 193155 18261 19741 889765 743524 70248 75993 92120 73952 10267 7901 99013 79484 11036 8493 76010 49355 26655 409791 345541 11435 52815 34937 26127 5457 3353 91850 62104 7720 22026 110965 75216 22673 13076 220110 199457 7396 13257 22210 19100 1555 1555 127092 119580 5743 1769 VETERAN HIGHLIGHT AND P 361071 296078 3611 61382 VETERAN AMBASSADOR PROG 171600 171600 MEALS 47005 43010 1880 2115 CREDIT CARD PROCESSING 40415 10104 30311 85260 46920 23375 14965 12472683 11906515 237416 328752 4859881 3513438 1055099 1687869 695883 587500 41850 41850 165314 115301 72222 50013 3029595 5727584 5136480 4576977 14891010 16185231 273117 115153 266732 146733 539849 261886 X 9635186 11327267 4715975 4596078 14351161 15923345 14891010 16185231 1338619 233565 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 10250268 10125237 13871107 10700487 13604703 58551802 10250268 10125237 13871107 10700487 13604703 58551802 2801144 55750658 4224 4595 3076 16082 221068 249045 58800847 0.94810 0.97790 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 103803 65340 38463 46927 35377 11550 14584 14584 0 50013 PROPERTY HELD FOR TRANSFER 4401570 OTHER ASSETS 32340 RIGHT OF USE ASSET 143067 4576977 RIGHT OF USE LEASE LIABILITY 146733 146733 X 14173357 233565 128490 362055 13811302 0 13811302 12601173 128490 128490 12472683 0 12472683 PART X, LINE 2: THE ORGANIZATION EVALUATED ITS ACTIVITIES FOR UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS AND HAS DETERMINED THAT THERE WERE NO UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS FOR 2023 AND 2022.
