Mission

Florida is for Veterans, Inc. is a non-profit corporation created by the State of Florida in 2014 to help veterans fully transition to civilian life in Florida. Our mission is to attract and retain veterans and to make Florida their permanent residence. House Bill 435 designated FIFV as the state's principal Department of Defense SkillBridge assistance organization. As the nation's first statewide SkillBridge initiative that creates unprecedented opportunities for transitioning servicemembers, builds a talent pipeline, and firmly plants Florida's flag as the top destination for military families. Initiatives like this further prove Florida's commitment to bolstering the state's workforce with servicemembers who combine their skills with training opportunities not availble anywhere else.

SkillBridge Program

The Department of Defense (DOD) SkillBridge program allows transitioning servicemembers, with commander approval and within their last six months of military service, the opportunity to work for a civilian employer. The program affords servicemembers the opportunity to sharpen critical job skills and obtain specialized training, while retaining their full pay and allowances. The goal is to minimize the employment gap between military separation and beginning their civilian career. In 2021, Governor DeSantis signed legislation to create the nation’s first statewide SkillBridge Initiative. Veterans FLorida is the principal organization to execute the initiative. Veterans Florida began assisting transitioning servicemembers with matching Florida opportunities. Veterans Florida works with employers to expand opportunities for training and internships throughout the state.

Agriculture Program

For fiscal years 2020-23, Veterans Florida received a $745,245.00 prime award from the United States Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture FY20 Enhancing Agricultural Opportunities for Military Veterans Competitive Grants Program to expand the Veterans Florida Agriculture Program building on the success of the prior Pilot Program. The Veterans Florida Agriculture Program is a six-month training fellowship that provides veterans and servicemembers a comprehensive, hands-on experience and equips them with the knowledge, skills, and abilities to be competitive for leading careers in Florida's $149B agriculture industry. Our objective was to put ten veterans through the program with support from the University of Florida, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences. All of the veterans who participated in the Program may either be placed into agriculture related employment, start their own farms, or further their education in an agriculture related degree.

Charting impact

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

What is the organization aiming to accomplish?

Military veterans transition to civilian life and to promote Florida’s status as the nation’s most veteran-friendly state.

What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?

Job placement and entrepreneurship training for veterans and spouses. Information on various resources available for veterans.

What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?

We partner with various Florida companies to assist in veteran employment placement and training. We offer entrepreneurship education and resources.

What have they accomplished so far and what's next?

Our nationwide, veteran-focused marketing campaign brought more than 78,000 unique and returning visitors to our website, and provided veterans with information on the wide variety of benefits and opportunities available in Florida. The campaigns reach continued growth through increases in social media followers, email newsletter subscribers, and attracted more than 2,300 veterans seeking career assistance, training and education, and job placement.

The Veterans Florida Workforce Training Grant program remains popular. We have contracted with more than 120 businesses that have hired/trained more than 1,500 veterans. These veterans collectively have earned more than $55 million in salary which goes directly back into Florida's economy.

Since the inception of the Veterans Florida Entrepreneurship Program in early 2016, it has served 4,975 veterans and provided training to 1,167 veteran-owned businesses

Balance sheet

Fiscal Year: Jul 01 - Jun 30

SOURCE: IRS Form 990 info

The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.
