With over 45,000 military and Veteran serving non-profits in the United States, resources for programs, healthcare, and services for our military and veterans communities are not the issue. However, accessibility to and knowledge of these resources is lacking.
We believe there are three core challenges that our military and veteran communities encounter:
• Resources are decentralized leading to a lack of knowledge and accessibility to services and opportunity.
• Unique barriers exist that prevent access to vital resources for service members and families through the military service lifecycle.
• Inequitable grantmaking and funding practices at the national level often prevents financial resources from reaching direct service providers and smaller NGOs who serve at the local level.
Veterans Collaborative will partner to address these challenges by leveraging existing resources and the power of philanthropy for increased access to opportunities and vital support. Visit Our Solutions for how we support gaps in our military and veteran community.
