We count on monetary donations to support our team's administrative needs and general operational expenses. We need your ongoing support so we can continue to deliver valuable services and resources to America's Veterans!

We dream of training and hiring unemployed and underemployed Veterans to serve as team leaders, care coordinators, and general staff. Staff & trained volunteers would then meet with Veterans in the community to assess the needs of the individual, coordinate services, then plan & control operations for the client (requires substantial and ongoing financial sponsorship) as part of our "We've Got You - 360" Program & Pledge, where we coordinate solutions with the help of partner organizations, by way of direct support operations & community projects.

Operational expenses - Fuel, refurbished computers, expendable items like chainsaw and tool parts, repair and maintenance costs, t-shirts for volunteers, and marketing materials are just some of our expenses. It takes a lot to run a successful organization!
We dream of one day purchasing land in N.C. and building a community that provides independent housing to Veterans, coupled with onsite services, for Veterans currently homeless and at risk of homelessness. There were 246 homeless Veterans in Charlotte, NC on 01/31/2020. (https://mecklenburghousingdata.org/welcome/housing-data-snapshot/)

Fiscal responsibility - What it means to be a nonprofit

A nonprofit has expenses, and needs to generate revenue like any traditional business; any and all excess revenue must be used to expand the programs the organization delivers, which help meet the needs of the community it serves; in our case, Veterans.
Our revenue comes from fundraising sales, individual donations, and corporate donations.
- We intend to seek grants in the future.
- If you have experience, and want to donate your time and expertise to help us raise funds, we would love to hear from you!
