Mission Description	Sentinels of Freedom Scholarship Foundation (the Foundation) is a Colorado notprofit organization formed in 2007 for the purpose of assisting veterans who have suffered severe duty-related injuries resulting in permanent physical disability since September 11, 2001 in their efforts to become productive, self-sufficient, integrated members of their community, and to raise awareness of the sacrifice these veterans have made in order to motivate the local community to rally behind these young men and women and ensure their success. The Foundation develops a scholarship package for each sentinel that may include providing a home or an apartment adapted to the specific disabilities of the veteran, employment and employment training, reliable transportation, financial and career counseling, and mentoring.

Description	The organization's primary performance measures are sentinels placements, overhead expense ratio and fundraising expenses. Placement performance is subjective, but requires that the organization continue to maximize the number of successful placements each year. The organization presently has 90 Sentinels who have been placed since the inception of the program in 2007. The organization benchmarks its financial measurements to the guide of the American Institute of Philanthropy (AIP). Their target is 60% or more spent on program services. AIP's target for fundraising effectiveness is that fundraising expenses account for $35 or less for every $100 raised.	Description

Explanation	Decisions to award Sentinels of Freedom Scholarships (grants/assistance) are made by the Board of Directors of the Foundation and are recorded in board meeting minutes. The Board deliberation in awarding a scholarship involves a review of the application and other input and a discussion of candidate interviews. While the decision to award a scholarship is recorded, the details of the deliberation are not. The amounts of the scholarships are needs-based, with the amount varying as needs arise over the life of the scholarship. Scholarship grants are normally paid by the Foundation directly to property owners, vendors or others supporting the Sentinels over the life of the Scholarship.	Explanation
