Mission
Empowering our Nation's SHEROES "Women Veterans" to continue to write their story. The primary goal of Valor Ranch is to reintegrate female veterans (SHEROES) back into the civilian world by providing them with a safe place to heal while advocating for and empowering them to lead a healthy, happy life beyond their military service. Our organization is actively involved in Building Thriving Communities among Veterans, to help them through difficulties often experienced as they navigate the military-to-community transition. We have developed strategies to narrow the "civilian-military divide" by bringing together Veterans and supporters, to work side by side, build infrastructure, and experience farm life. These activities reduce Veteran isolation and help them feel more connected to others. It also gives those who don't know any military members or Veterans an opportunity to meet some of "the 1%" who volunteered to fight for our country.

We believe every female veteran should continue to write her own story - At Valor Ranch, ink meets soil, and stories unfold. We believe that every female veteran - every SHERO - holds a pen, ready to script her own narrative beyond the uniform. Valor Ranch isn't just a place; it's a purpose. Our primary goal? To reintegrate SHEROES - our female veterans - into civilian life. We offer more than shelter; we provide a sanctuary for healing. Here, scars find solace, and resilience blooms. Valor Ranch spans ten acres - a canvas of possibility. Cottages, fully furnished, dot the landscape. Each one cradles a SHERO, cocooned in safety. Within these walls, she reclaims her voice, her dreams, and her right to happiness. In 2024 a total of 841 days of housing was provided by Valor Ranch. Silent listeners, patient companions - become confidantes. SHEROES gather eggs, feed animals, and mend fences. In these simple acts, they mend themselves. The animals, unjudging, mirror their courage. After twelve months, SHEROES step beyond Valor Ranch's gates. But they don't leave; they evolve. Each SHERO becomes a mentor - a guiding star for the next. She shares her wisdom, her laughter, and her battle-tested resilience. Valor Ranch isn't an island; it's a bridge. We narrow the "civilian-military divide." Veterans and supporters work side-by-side - hammering nails, planting seeds, and sharing stories. Remember, community isn't just about proximity; it's about connection. Valor Ranch becomes more than a physical place - it becomes a tapestry of shared experiences, laughter, and growth. Those who haven't worn the uniform meet those who have - the 1% who volunteered to defend. Conversations flow over fence posts. Stereotypes crumble. Hearts connect. Valor Ranch becomes a living lesson in empathy. Valor Ranch isn't just a mission; it's a fire. We're passionate about empowering women veterans. Their stories - etched in ink, etched in earth - inspire us. They continue to write, and we stand as witnesses. Let's turn these pages together. Valor Ranch - the inkwell, the pasture, the heartbeat - awaits.

Imagine SHEROES tending to aquaponic garden - their hearts in bloom. Here, fish and plants dance in harmony. As they nurture life, they heal their own wounds. The rhythm of growth becomes their heartbeat. This exciting project isn't just about growing organic produce - it's about cultivating a stronger sense of commUNITY and camaraderie among all participants. As we nurture this garden, we're sowing the seeds of connection and nourishment. We were able to utilize the existing garden for four months. During this time, we fed over 1,200 families with a projection to feed over 5,000 families a year. Due to the extreme Texas heat, lack of insulation and weathered covering in the current Quonset hut, we had to shut it down. Once program services are offered, key indicators that will be used to measure impact will be mental health status, SHERO impact reports, personal sustainability, and community outreach. Once the Healing Garden construction is complete, future programing includes a dedicated woman veteran certified in aquaponic gardening to teach other veterans along with residents of Valor Ranch to maintain the existing garden supplying produce to the underserved community and manage a similar garden of their own.

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. 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.

Auto-Revocation List
Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.
Publication 78
Listed as of 11 November 2026, under deductibility PC.
These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
