Communication
Programs and results
What we aim to solve
We are working to address two issues: 1) Community and non-profit groups often work independently of each other, missing out on the possible synergies, camaraderie and community building that occurs when working together. 2) Tax-exempt, non-501(c)(3) organizations, such as 501(c)(19) - Veteran Organizations, are often refused access to the resources afforded other exempt organizations. These organizations do good for the community and are as deserving and needful as others.
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Veteran-Youth outreach
Bringing together veteran and youth organizations to connect, form bonds and "pass the torch" of stewardship.
Veteran Health Assistance
We provide assistance in connected veterans with access to health benefits they have access to. Beyond the basic VA coverage, we provide both guidance and financial assistance for veterans in need of dental, vision and medical services.
