• MASS DEPLOYMENT PROGRAM- BRINGS VETERANS FROM ACROSS THE COUNTRY TOGETHER WITH COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND LOCAL VETERANS FOR A WEEK OF IMPACT IN AN UNDER-RESOURCED COMMUNITY. OVER SEVEN FULL DAYS, VETERANS CONNECT DEEPLY TO EACH OTHER AND TO A COMMUNITY THAT IS FACING SIGNIFICANT CHALLENGES. THROUGHOUT THE WEEK, THEY GAIN NEW SKILLS IN AN EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING ENVIRONMENT, CONNECTING WITH THEIR FELLOW VETERANS AND WITH THE COMMUNITY IN WHICH THEY SERVE. THROUGH THEIR COMMUNITY IMPACT, THEY FIND A RENEWED SENSE OF PURPOSE. FURTHERMORE, THE LARGE INFUSION OF RESOURCES INTO AN UNDER-RESOURCED COMMUNITY SERVES AS A CATALYST FOR CONTINUED ENGAGEMENT AND ADVOCACY BY COMMUNITY MEMBERS. MASS DEPLOYMENT PARTICIPANTS RETURN HOME PREPARED AND ENERGIZED TO LEAD MOVEMENTS OF CHANGE IN THEIR OWN LOCAL COMMUNITIES.

Officers and directors · 2025

As listed in Part VII of the 2025 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. 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. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.
