IN ADDITION, WE PROVIDE A GROWING RANGE OF SUPPORT SERVICES TO HELP THEM BUILD BETTER AND BRIGHTER LIVES AND REACH NEW HEIGHTS. 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. THESE HOMES 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 THE EXTRAORDINARY ACHIEVEMENT OF MORE THAN ONE HOME EVERY 11 DAYS FOR A TWELFTH CONSECUTIVE YEAR IN 2024, INCLUDING OUR MILESTONE 400TH HOME SINCE INCEPTION. THE ORGANIZATION PLANS TO REACH 40 HOMES ONCE AGAIN IN 2025 (GREATER THAN ONE HOME EVERY 11 DAYS), WITH HIGH HOPES TO REACH AS MANY AS 50 HOMES A NEW RECORD PLUS OUR MILESTONE 500TH HOME BEFORE THE END OF 2026. 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. AS WELL, IT'S A GENERATIONAL GIFT THAT ALLOWS THE CHILDREN OF THE FAMILIES TO CREATE STABILITY IN THEIR LIFE AND ONE DAY INHERIT THE HOME. 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 ENTIRE COUNTRY. 1168228 957153 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 2024 WAS OUR GROWING PROGRAMS TO HELP WITH PHYSICAL HEALTH AND MENTAL WELLNESS. RANGING FROM TRADITIONAL TO INNOVATIVE SUPPORT, WE WERE ABLE TO SUPPORT MORE THAN 2,500 HEROES IN 2024 ALONE, WITH THE HOPE TO SUPPORT MORE THAN 5,000 HEROES IN 2025. 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 EVERY DAY HEALTH, THEIR PHYSICAL FITNESS, AND THEIR QUALITY OF LIFE. WE HAVE SUPPORTED VETERANS TO CLIMB THE WORLD'S TALLEST MOUNTAINS, AND WINNING MEDALS IN THE WARRIOR GAMES, INVICTUS GAMES AND INTERNATIONAL COMPETITIONS. ONE OF OUR BIGGEST EVENTS WE HOSTED IN IN 2024 WAS OUR 6TH ANNUAL TEAM BUILDING EVENT, BRINGING TOGETHER HUNDREDS OF OUR VETERAN HOME RECIPIENTS AND THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS FOR THREE DAYS AND NIGHTS OF FAMILY FUN, FRIENDLY COMPETITION, CONNECTIVITY, NEW FRIENDSHIPS, SPIRITED CAMARADERIE AND A LIFETIME OF HEALING THAT OUR VETERANS CONTINUE TO RAVE ABOUT. THIS PROGRAM HAS BEEN EXTRAORDINARILY HELPFUL TOWARDS HELPING VETERANS REUNITE AND 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 RECENT REPORTS INDICATING UP TO 23 VETERAN SUICIDES A DAY, WE RECOGNIZE JUST HOW VITAL THESE PROGRAMS ARE. THEY NOT ONLY SUPPORT OUR VETERANS NOW BUT ALSO HELP PAVE THE WAY FOR A BETTER AND BRIGHTER FUTURE AHEAD FOR GENERATIONS TO COME. 345639 276137 ACADEMIC SUPPORT, EMERGENCY FUNDING AND FINANCIAL ADVISOR GUIDANCE - OUR GOAL IS TO ALWAYS EMPOWER OUR VETERANS AND THEIR FAMILIES SO THEY SURVIVE AND THRIVE. WITH ECONOMIC CHALLENGES CAUSING FAMILIES NATIONWIDE TO STRUGGLE, OUR EMERGENCY FUNDING PROGRAM ALLOWS US TO HELP VETERANS AND FIRST RESPONDERS DURING DIFFICULT FINANCIAL TIMES, AS WELL ASSUDDEN 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 FROM DISASTROUS WEATHER EVENTS SUCH AS HURRICANES, TORNADOES AND FLOODING. AS WELL, IT CAN SAVE A VETERAN AND THEIR FAMILY FROM FORECLOSURE ON THEIR HOME AND HEARTBREAKING HOMELESSNESS, ALL TOO COMMONLY EXPERIENCED. THE ORGANIZATION ALSO PROVIDES IMMEDIATE ASSISTANCE TO VETERANS WHO ARE EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS OR ARE ON THE BRINK OF HOMELESSNESS. ANOTHER MAJOR WAY WE HELP VETERANS IMPROVE THEIR FINANCIAL WELL-BEING IS BY PROVIDING GUIDANCE TO MAINTAIN HOME EXPENSES AND MAINTAIN THEIR HOMES AND TO PLAN A SUCCESSFUL FINANCIAL 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, THE PROS AND CONS OF COMPOUND INTEREST, 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. 15228357 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 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 57 0 1 18 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 13 13 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 ANDREW PUJOL CEO & CHAIRMAN OF THE BOAR 50.00 X X 0 0 0 NANCY MAURO CFO 40.00 X 133332 0 20822 KIMBERLY VESEY PRESIDENT AND GENERAL COUN 40.00 X X 127519 0 18662 ANTHONY SIGILLITO DIRECTOR/TREASURER 20.00 X X 0 0 0 DAVID WEINGRAD SECRETARY 40.00 X 0 0 0 GEORGE SHERMAN DIRECTOR 4.00 X 0 0 0 JAMES CUMMINGS DIRECTOR 4.00 X 0 0 0 JOHN MADISON DIRECTOR 5.00 X 0 0 0 JON SIGILLITO DIRECTOR 4.00 X 0 0 0 JOSEPH MCFARLAND DIRECTOR 8.00 X 0 0 0 MIKE BRODERICK DIRECTOR 4.00 X 0 0 0 PATRICK GAMBARO DIRECTOR 3.00 X 0 0 0 TYLER MARK DIRECTOR 5.00 X 0 0 0 VINCENT P DIFRONZO DIRECTOR 5.00 X 0 0 0 SHANNON JUDD DIRECTOR 5.00 X 0 0 0 260851 0 39484 2 0 1 0 O2X HUMAN PERFORMANCE LLC 1 MILL WHARF PLAZA UNIT S12 SCITUATE MA 02066 TRAINING AND EDUCATION 500000 FLYING PEANUT PRODUCTION INC 2111 E CONCORD STREET ORLANDO FL 32803 MEDIA PRODUCTION 401861 THE BROTHERS GOLNICK PRODUCTIONS LLC 1216 NE 17TH WAY FORT LAUDERDALE FL 33304 MEDIA PRODUCTION 273400 TA TODD CONSTRUCTION INC 705 W ESPARADA DRIVE GEORGETOWN TX 78628 CONSTRUCTION 140460 MONARCH BUILT HOMES LLC 1304 E SHEPPERD DRIVE GLADEWATER TX 75647 CONSTRUCTION 131585 5 401458 317014 18951483 6710412 19669955 453402 453402 116943 115266 1677 1677 1677 346523 401458 346523 0 20125034 0 0 455079 12380073 12380073 300334 251962 19721 28651 1022604 848483 69603 104518 104419 83084 9738 11597 103295 82190 9633 11472 71625 39461 31795 369 431931 369492 10480 51959 41916 30823 7239 3854 94570 63379 8285 22906 107319 78589 14596 14134 255414 233405 6672 15337 22210 19100 1555 1555 109206 106882 1767 557 VETERAN HIGHLIGHT AND P 401861 329526 4019 68316 VETERAN AMBASSADOR PROG 180600 180600 OUTSIDE EVENT SUPPORT 61013 29896 31117 MEALS 54194 49482 2273 2439 133750 51930 51877 29943 15876334 15228357 249253 398724 3513438 2813650 1687869 156567 587500 169120 41850 20582 165314 137510 50013 27804 5727584 14073973 4576977 3594459 16185231 20856155 115153 618270 146733 21205 261886 639475 X 11327267 16308586 4596078 3908094 15923345 20216680 16185231 20856155 4248700 44635 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 10125237 13871107 10700487 13604703 19675955 67977489 10125237 13871107 10700487 13604703 19675955 67977489 2406150 65571339 4595 3076 16082 221068 453402 698223 68675712 0.95480 0.94810 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 103803 83783 20020 46927 39143 7784 14584 14584 0 27804 PROPERTY HELD FOR TRANSFER 3535173 OTHER ASSETS 38693 RIGHT OF USE ASSET 20593 3594459 RIGHT OF USE LEASE LIABILITY 21205 21205 X 20498235 44635 328566 373201 20125034 0 20125034 16183632 328566 -21268 307298 15876334 0 15876334 PART X, LINE 2: THE ORGANIZATION EVALUATED ITS ACTIVITIES FOR UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS AND HAS DETERMINED THAT THERE WERE NO UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS FOR 2024 AND 2023.
