What we aim to solve

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

Picture being thrust into a place you’ve never been, having to immediately provide for your family. How will your family weather these changes? How will you succeed during this critical time? These are questions our veterans & their families face during transition. According to the DOD, approximately 1,300 veterans and their families begin their transition out of military service each day. The transition for these families brings many unique challenges & GallantFew is here to make it a success.

What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?

GallantFew Rangers

To facilitate a successful transition for Army Ranger veterans from active military service to a civilian life filled with hope and purpose. RLTW!

Our mission is accomplished through our Ranger Functional Fitness programs and events; connecting them to fellow Rangers, educating them about resources available to Rangers & their families from various businesses and organizations, and ultimately empowering them to lead the way in their communities.

The Ranger’s return on investment to the U.S. Army is leadership. Soldiers deserve the best-trained leaders our Army has to offer. Those leaders are Rangers. GFR is the veteran-led extension of the Army’s investment. GFR sets the example for others to follow by building Rangers for Life.

Population(s) Served

Our mission is to empower our military community to live a life filled with hope and purpose. Group recreation develops this culture by building teamwork, trust, and encouragement with fellow veterans

Population(s) Served

Brigade V, a coalition of Veteran Resource Group Leaders and Advocates. We help organizations leverage veteran and military-connected employee talent.

The mission of Brigade V is to create an environment where veteran-focused Business Resource Groups (BRGs) can prosper through the creation of a community where members share best practices, gain education, have access to professional development resources, and make a positive philanthropic impact on the veteran community. The Brigade V was established out of a collaboration between GallantFew, Leidos, American Airlines, and Charles Schwab and prospered into what is now the Brigade V with dozens of members. Membership in the Brigade V is open to all ERG’s or ERG members who want to join in the Association’s mission.

Charting impact

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

We provide 1:1 assistance & support to any service member or veteran seeking guidance in their transition from the military.

We know transition is more than a change of jobs and zip code. It’s a new family dynamic, new employers, new healthcare, new schedule, new priorities…the list goes on. All of these new aspects of life can be overwhelming when occurring all at once. There is no battle plan that fits each individual’s transition – but that’s where GallantFew comes in. Our entire team is comprised of military-affiliated people – either veterans, military spouses, or active duty volunteers, providing one-on-one mentorship tailored to YOU. The only piece of the journey that’s the same for each person we serve – the objective: establishing a life of hope and purpose.

If GallantFew assists active service members by guiding them in their transition, supports veterans reintegrating into our civilian communities, and enhances existing government transition programs…

Then more servicemembers and veterans will effectively integrate, continuing to serve and lead in our communities. A veteran with a purpose strengthens our nation.

The GallantFew STAR (Self Training And Response-ability) Program is the method of providing one-on-one mentorship to veterans. It encompasses mentorship in the main fitness areas of transition from military service to civilian life: emotional (personal growth mindset with a sound emotional state), physical (healthy & fit lifestyle), professional (fulfilling career, education, financial growth, social integration & leadership in communities), and spiritual (a life of purpose & direction).

GallantFew focuses on active service member transition and veteran reintegration. Through one-on-one support, GallantFew provides solutions to veterans at any point in their journey. Supporting active service members enables us to be proactive in preventing future issues that stem from a lack of transition support from the military as they leave. Supporting veterans who left the military long ago conveys that no matter how long ago their transition was it can still have an impact on their daily lives. GallantFew has mission support partners, that provide numerous additional resources. GallantFew understands that we, as an organization, cannot do it ALL, but we can connect a veteran with experts and resources in nearly any area that they may require support.

GallantFew has been serving veterans for more than 10 years. Year-over-year GallantFew is awarded the Guidestar Platinum Seal of Transparency and demonstrates less than 5% of funding going towards overhead administrative costs.

The GallantFew team is made up primarily of veterans and military spouses who understand the importance of our mission and relate to the population served.

GallantFew has 25 Mission Support Partners that we work with to serve veterans. These are mutual relationships in which we refer veterans to each other to find the best fit for support. GallantFew knows that we cannot be experts in every area so we partner with specialty organizations such as The Honor Foundation, Stop Soldier Suicide, Global SOF Foundation, and Merging Vets & Players. GallantFew connects veterans to the organization(s) that best match their needs.

Each year GallantFew increases the number of services provided to veterans. Despite the global pandemic and decrease in large, in-person, based events GallantFew has continued to increase the number of veterans served as well as the number of services provided to veterans.

In 2020 593 new veterans joined the GallantFew community to take control of their transition from military life to a civilian life filled with hope & purpose. In 2021 GallantFew has had 826 new veterans join our community. The significance of new
