Programs and results

What we aim to solve

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

There are many resources and benefits offered to military families. However, many said resources are realized too late or not utilized at all because of poor message dissemination or buried in complex discourse. Thus, the purpose for which the Corporation is formed is to empower United States (U.S.) active, reserve, retired, and veteran military service members and their families better realize, utilize, and optimize the many benefits afforded to them.

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

To improve the quality of life for all U.S. military families: reduce stress, empower with relevant and timely information, build a supportive network.

The organization shall create and publish original content as well as help disseminate and breakdown resources published from other official and vetted organizations. The difference between this organization and other nonprofits, is that it promises to provide the Bottom Line Up Front (BLUF) to give the audience an easy to digest takeaway. Additionally, there is a large resource gap in video content covering military benefits. The corporation shall create a competitive advantage by publishing quality videos to break down complex military benefit topics. Overall, the organization’s purpose is to improve U.S. military family’s quality of life and promote any financial, family, travel, or educational benefit available to military families,

Start up stage hosting a website and various social media channels.

Fire-starter stage: We have recently received 501(c)(3) status. With permission to solicit funds we plan to grow our budget to start growing our donation fund, our ad hoc project fund, marketing fund, and volunteer outreach.
