The top comment I hear from our Beyond The Brotherhood fellows as they onboard is "I am so glad there is a screening process". Why would someone want to be screened before receiving benefits from a 501c3? Because everyone raises money with the Navy SEAL name but that is not where the money usually goes. Ask around - it's true. At BTB, we transition ONLY screened and selected Navy SEALs of character. That's it. There is an administrative load, especially in our first year when we had to set up the 501c3 - our program percentage was 71%, that means that 71 cents of every donation dollar went to the cause. (In the non-profit world, 67% is considered really good). This year, we are at 89%. As we come into the giving season, hit me up if you want to know how we are spending your donations. We squeeze every bit of benefit out of every dollar and it goes where you think it does - to build the next chapter in the lives of our nation's greatest warriors.

Thank You Kimco Realty Corporation... For once again generously supporting the lifesaving mission of the combat veteran 501(c)(3) Heroes To Heroes Foundation! Are you, or your company, looking for a military veteran charity to help where your donation of any amount can move the needle in helping our American heroes? Read a brief description of the mission below, with links for more information at the end. Questions? Just ask me! Heroes To Heroes Foundation   Heroes To Heroes Foundation is a $1MM nondenominational combat veteran 501(c)3) that provides donors of any amount the ability to make a huge impact on our mission.   As an overview, the mission is successfully saving vets returning home suffering moral injury, and who live at serious risk of death by suicide. Our 12-month curriculum focuses on peer support, spiritual reawakening, and reconnection to faith.   We bring these American heroes from suicidal ideation to community reintegration!   HTH is 4-Star Charity Navigator-rated and the efficacy of our program has been validated by a long-term study conducted by Dr. Joseph Currier, a leader in the area of moral injury at the University of South Alabama.   A key to our program is a 10-day Team journey to Israel towards the middle of the year-long program, critical for the peer support, spirituality, and reconnection to faith pieces of our mission. In Israel, the vets travel with 3 members of the IDF who are suffering in much the same way.   We have Teams that just returned from Israel now, our first Journey since the atrocities of October 7th!   These are links for more information.   Video of program participants on the ground in Israel: https://lnkd.in/erMBFP8h HTH website: https://lnkd.in/eSkXGpK 14th Annual HTH Golf, Tennis, and Pickleball Classic: https://lnkd.in/exiD33EA Please let me know if you have any questions or would like to speak in more detail.   Mike #veterans #military #suicideprevention #charity #givingback #peersupport #spirituality #faith #business

We are excited to kick off Freetrail's 3rd annual Memorial Day Fundraiser supporting Wounded Warrior Project. To date the FT community has helped raise over $7,000 and this year we are hoping to go bigger. We encourage any brand in the trail/running/outdoor space who will be holding a Memorial Day Sale to consider a donation to this effort. Memorial Day of course was originally a moment to honor those who have served their country and did not make it home. Not the unofficial kick off to summer. Or 40% off anything. This isn't meant to shame a company holding a sale. We get it. But please condisder a donation out of your profits. As a reminder this was originally born out our friend Ari Sonnenburg's annual tribute to his friends that he served with in the US Army. This year his effort is a big one. A 75 hour vision quest through the Netherlands to see how far he can go. Every day, 58 injured veterans and their families sign up to receive critical services and support offered by WWP. Thanks to the generosity of people like you, warriors and their families will never pay a penny for these life-changing programs. How can you participate? Oh how many ways! 1. Donate if you are able to. 2. Get your employer to match the donation if that's a perk that they offer. 3. Spread the word on social media with your friends and family (maybe a repost here?) 4. If you are connected to a brand in the outdoor world encourage a donation if they will be offering Memorial Day Sales. Let's encourage them and not shame them but remind them what this holiday is really about 5. Support Ari. Are you connected to a shoe brand? We are looking for a brand to donate shoes and gear to help him with this effort. Any leads are appreciated! 6. Go out and do your own adventure and tell us all about it 7. Host a podcast? Mention this effort! Thanks in advance. Here is the link to our fundraising page - https://lnkd.in/gA8PStTz

On this special day, we want to take a moment to remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice while serving our country. We are forever grateful and will remember what you did to keep us safe. Here are a few ways we can recognize Memorial Day: • Moment of Silence: On Memorial Day, our Veteran’s Employee Resource Group asks you to consider pausing and observing a moment of silence and reflection. • Share Stories: Memorial Day offers an opportunity to learn about the courageous individuals who fought for our country. • Support Charitable Organizations: Consider organizing a charitable initiative to support veterans or military families in need. Whether it's fundraising, volunteering, or donating, we can make a positive impact and show our support for those affected by the loss of loved ones. By acknowledging Memorial Day, we demonstrate our commitment to our values as a company and show our support for the military community. #MemorialDay #CoWorxStaffing #CoWorxCares
