About us
The Military Family Advisory Network (MFAN) was created in 2013 to connect military families with the resources they need to thrive. MFAN convenes military, reservists, and veteran spouses — some of whom are veterans themselves — who are dedicated to improving the lives of military families. MFAN is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to building a community of military and veteran families, at home and abroad, who are well-informed about resources designed to serve them, equipped with tools for success, connected to leaders who serve the military family community, and embraced by the general public. Our mission: MFAN translates the needs of military families in a way that service providers can understand and translates services in a way that speaks to our families. We convene leaders of the military family community who, through collaboration with outside organizations and effective communications, elevate and amplify the voice of military families everywhere.
