Goals & Strategy

Charting impact

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

Our goal is to both provide financial support to veterans and assist them with connecting with organizations that can address their specific needs.

Our main strategy is to review all cases carefully, and then make a proper determination as to what kind of assistance we need to provide the specific person with.

We have developed a network of service providers, and also we coordinate an annual fundraising dinner.

Since our inception, we have assisted approximately 50 individuals, and have several cases still in progress.

Data
  • We review compensation data across the organization (and by staff levels) to identify disparities by race.
  • We ask team members to identify racial disparities in their programs and / or portfolios.
  • We have long-term strategic plans and measurable goals for creating a culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
Policies and processes
  • We use a vetting process to identify vendors and partners that share our commitment to race equity.
  • We have a promotion process that anticipates and mitigates implicit and explicit biases about people of color serving in leadership positions.
  • We seek individuals from various race backgrounds for board and executive director/CEO positions within our organization.
  • We have community representation at the board level, either on the board itself or through a community advisory board.
  • We help senior leadership understand how to be inclusive leaders with learning approaches that emphasize reflection, iteration, and adaptability.
  • We measure and then disaggregate job satisfaction and retention data by race, function, level, and/or team.
  • We engage everyone, from the board to staff levels of the organization, in race equity work and ensure that individuals understand their roles in creating culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
