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.

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 13 October 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.
