What the amendment changed
Compared with the latest return for 2025 , filed 10 April 2025. matched by us Only the return's totals, a 990-PF's accounting method and the names listed in Part VII (Part VIII on a 990-PF) are compared. We relate returns by organization, tax year and form, and order them by each return's own timestamp; the filer's own "amended return" checkbox is a separate fact.
Those are the same on the two returns, so the amendment changed something else.

Mission and programs · 2025
Mission
Our mission is to provide funds that directly support wounded military heroes through charitable programs reviewed, approved, and recommended by Birdies for the Brave, a PGA Tour Charities, Inc. affiliate and part of the PGA Tour's Military Outreach program. These programs are designed specifically for the individual needs of our wounded heroes as they return to active duty or assimilate back into the civilian population. We raise money by soliciting sponsorships for our Wounded Heroes Golf Classics, from our Golf Classics themselves, fom silent live, and online auctions and more
Activities or mission (Part I)
To raise funds to distribute to charitable organizations recognized under 501 (c)(3), like PGA Tour Charities, Inc. focusing on wounded military heroes from post 9/11 combat and from all branches of the US military to assist them and their families as they assimilate back into active duty or into the civilian population.

LFWMH raises funds via annual golf tournament registration fees, sponsorships, donations from businesses and individuals, auction item sales, and raffle ticket sales. We hold several events throughout the year. Three (3) things make our golf outings unique; (1) We invite Wounded Heroes, as our guests, to play with the paying foursomes. Wounded Heroes are those injured in post 9/11 combat (Purple Heart recipients), those who have or are suffering from PTSD, and those with traumatic brain injuries. (2) We provide our Wounded Hero guests with a 1-hour golf clinic before the event begins, and (3) for approximately twelve (12) years, the Special Forces Association Parachute Team performs at each of our Golf Classic events which includes a tandem jumper making a minimum donation of $500.

On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
