OPERATION REACH ONE MORE
This operation is mobilized through boots on the ground missions centered upon our Rally Points. Eagle OPS’ Rally Points are specific locations where service members, veterans, & their families, as well as patriots “rally” to form meaningful bonds with each other through social events and activities that we call Rally Points, which leverages military culture. These connections build upon meaningful, culturally based normatives that we, in the veteran community, knew in order to form meaningful relationships that combat loneliness, isolation, suicide. We mobilize these meaningful connections via Rally Points. According to a 2018 VA Study, 84% of veterans diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder was due to loneliness. We are combating this leading cause of veteran suicide.
OPERATION DIFFERENCE MAKERS
Recognizing the deep military cultural mindset of “Service” that our veterans hold dear, we actively engage community partners to provide opportunities for veterans, veteran families and patriots to be Difference Makers by connecting with each other and their communities through acts of "Serving after Service" through volunteerism.
OPERATION HAND-UP
This operation exists to fill financial gaps for veteran focused partner organizations. Veterans, too, can request an emergency hand up. See what our Operation Hand-Up looks like here: www.eagleops.org/handup
OPERATION OUTREACH
Direct Community Engagement with other Veteran Service Organizations, Tribes, Government Agencies, Private Sector, Local Events, etc., where we meet one-on-one, or group settings with nonprofit leaders, company executives, etc., or set up our Operation Outreach Tent in order to educate, collaborate, and build the community based, unilateral front necessary to bring our heroes home, one operation at a time.
We also provide Suicide Prevention Training, Military Cultural Training to educate & empower our communities to better support our nation's veterans & veteran families in their battle for home.

EAGLE OPS
Balance sheetFiscal Year: Jan 01 - Dec 31
The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.
