Veterans Helping
Veterans
According to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, over 19 million veterans live within our communities. Although these individuals represent varied age groups, genders, races, and other demographics, they share an understanding of the challenges and opportunities of being a military veteran. The capacity to relate to the unique personal and professional obstacles has inspired some veterans to form non-profit organizations focused on helping other vets, such as Silent Veterans Inc.
In this article, I’ll share some examples of veteran organizations that are serving vets and provide a checklist to help aspiring entrepreneurs work through starting a non-profit business. It’s heartwarming and inspirational to see veteran organizations with such solid and impactful missions. Their dedication to assisting struggling veterans to overcome physical, mental, financial, and societal challenges and empowering them to lead fulfilling and successful post-military lives deserves our accolades.
