These efforts include public awareness activities, events, and initiatives that promote understanding of the challenges faced by those who have served and encourage meaningful community involvement. As part of these efforts, the organization operates a mission-integrated support platform that facilitates engagement with participants and the broader community while expanding access to its programs. This platform includes the acquisition, demonstration, and distribution of specialized equipment and safety gear that is directly utilized within the organization's reintegration programs. Participants in the organization's programs rely on this equipment as a necessary component of program delivery, particularly within structured, peer-based recreational and therapeutic experiences. The organization maintains access to current, high-quality equipment to ensure participant safety, accessibility, and program effectiveness, including for individuals with physical and service-related limitations. The distribution of such equipment also serves an educational and outreach function by increasing public awareness of the tools and resources required to safely participate in these activities. In many cases, equipment is demonstrated and utilized within programs prior to being made available to the broader community, reinforcing its direct connection to the organization's exempt purpose. Revenue generated through these activities is substantially related to the organization's mission and is reinvested into program operations, memorial preservation efforts, and participant support. This includes reducing program costs, maintaining and updating safety equipment, and expanding access to services for veterans and first responders who may otherwise face barriers to participation. 0 0 0 14161 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 MA NH X X Michael DeFazio 5087352293 315 Rumonoski Drive Northbridge MA 01534 X Michael DeFazio CEO, President, Clerk, Treasurer, Director 55 0 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 0 0 0 0 0 20096 0 20096 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 63472 43214 20258 20258 0 0 0 40354 20258 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 4000 2000 0 2000 3000 1000 1000 1000 800 0 800 0 0 0 0 0 1201 1201 6580 6580 0 0 0 0 Program Equipment Maintenance and Repair 1714 1714 0 0 Program Supplies and equipment 1147 1147 0 0 Shipping and Postage 37 37 0 0 Fees and Administrative 482 482 0 0 18961 14161 1800 3000 6727 28120 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 6727 28120 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 6727 28120 0 0 0 0 6727 28120 6727 28120 21393 0 0 0 0 0 X 0 0 0 X 4197 48278 68459 54483 20096 195513 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 4197 48278 68459 54483 20096 195513 0 195513 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 63471 63471 258984 63471 X Schedule A, Part II, Line 10 Other income reported on Schedule A, Part II, Line 10 consists of revenue generated through the organization's mission-integrated equipment access and distribution activities. The organization acquires specialized safety equipment, protective gear, and related products through program-driven purchasing and established industry relationships, enabling access to high-quality, mission-critical equipment at reduced cost. This approach is essential to program delivery, as participants rely on properly fitted and up-to-date safety gear to safely engage in structured reintegration activities, particularly those with physical and service-related limitations. By maintaining direct access to this equipment, the organization is able to equip participants with standardized, program-tested gear while significantly reducing procurement costs that would otherwise be materially higher through traditional retail channels. Without this model, the organization's ability to safely and consistently operate its programs at scale would be substantially limited. These activities also serve an educational and public benefit function by increasing awareness of proper safety standards, equipment usage, and best practices within the broader community. Equipment is demonstrated and utilized within program settings, reinforcing its reliability and promoting informed, safety-conscious participation in the activity. In addition, this model allows the organization to extend these benefits beyond program participants by making high-quality safety equipment more accessible and affordable to the broader community. By reducing cost barriers and promoting the use of reliable, mission-tested equipment, the organization contributes to improved safety outcomes, increased accessibility, and the overall well-being of individuals participating in the activity. The acquisition and distribution of this equipment is not conducted as a separate commercial enterprise but as an integral component of the organization's programmatic infrastructure. Revenue generated through these activities is fully reinvested into program operations, including equipment maintenance and replacement, reduction of participant costs, memorial preservation efforts, and expansion of services for veterans and first responders. Accordingly, these activities are substantially related to the organization's exempt purpose, as they directly support program implementation, enhance participant safety, expand access to essential equipment, and contribute to the long-term sustainability of the organization's charitable mission. RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Form 990, Part III, Line 2 The organization continued expanding its veterans memorial and cemetery preservation initiatives, including efforts to identify, mark, and maintain the graves of veterans in local cemeteries and to preserve memorial sites honoring those who served. These activities help ensure the sacrifices of veterans are properly recognized and remembered within the community. Form 990, Part III, Line 3 The organization previously identified a woodworking shop program as part of its veteran reintegration initiatives. The program was intended to produce handcrafted items such as custom flags, military insignia, memorial plaques, and other wooden works that were gifted to disabled veterans and the families of those killed in action or held as prisoners of war/missing in action, or sold to support charitable services. During the current tax year, this activity was not actively conducted as the organization focused its resources on other veteran and first responder reintegration, community engagement, and memorial preservation initiatives. Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 8b The organization does not maintain any committees with authority to act on behalf of the governing body. Therefore, no committee meetings or actions required documentation during the tax year. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b The Form 990 is prepared using the organization's financial records and supporting documentation. Upon completion, the return is reviewed in its entirety by the organization's governing body prior to filing. This review includes an assessment of financial accuracy, consistency with organizational activities, and alignment with the organization's mission and program operations to ensure the return is complete and accurate. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c The organization monitors compliance with its conflict of interest policy on an ongoing basis. Individuals with decision-making authority are expected to disclose any actual or potential conflicts as they arise. When a potential conflict is identified, the matter is reviewed, and appropriate steps are taken to ensure that decisions are made in the best interest of the organization and consistent with its mission. Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19 The organization makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial information available to the public upon request. Copies may be requested by contacting the organization directly. Form 990, Part VIII, Line 10c The organization reports revenue from the sale of inventory consisting primarily of specialized equipment and safety gear that is directly utilized in the delivery of its exempt program services. These items are integral to the organization's reintegration programs, where participants engage in structured, peer-based activities that require appropriate equipment to ensure safety, accessibility, and program effectiveness. The organization maintains access to current, high-quality equipment to support participant needs, including individuals with physical and service-related limitations. Such equipment is regularly demonstrated and utilized within program settings prior to being made available more broadly, reinforcing its direct connection to program service delivery and the organization's exempt purpose. This process also serves an educational function by increasing public awareness of the safety standards, equipment requirements, and best practices necessary for safe participation in these activities. In addition, the organization's ability to acquire equipment through program-driven purchasing and industry relationships allows it to make high-quality safety gear more accessible and affordable to participants and the broader community. By reducing cost barriers and promoting the use of reliable, mission-tested equipment, these activities contribute to improved safety outcomes, increased accessibility, and the overall well-being of individuals participating in the sport and related activities. The sale and distribution of this equipment is not conducted as a separate commercial enterprise but as an integrated component of the organization's programmatic infrastructure. Revenue generated from these activities is fully reinvested into program operations, including the maintenance and replacement of equipment, reduction of participant costs, and expansion of services for veterans and first responders. Accordingly, the organization considers this activity to be substantially related to its exempt purpose and not unrelated business income.
