Nothing Is Free...Not Even Doing Good, at Least in my World! You often hear the phrase: "It takes a village." After working in the nonprofit industry for several years, I do wonder if it does take a village, or is it just a small group of company owners who care enough about social change, that they "become the village." Building a nonprofit from ground zero into one than can affect change across the United States takes a lot more than just a village - it takes private and corporate partnerships. We all know, nothing is free, not even doing good! Our Vets on Track Foundation is making an impact in the homeless veteran arena by furnishing homes for those transitioning into permanent housing from homelessness. We give these unsung heroes a reason to want to go home, and not return to the streets. While we recently furnished our 1,000th home in Virginia, there is need all across the country. Our quest is to open Divisions of our Foundation in every state in the union - but we can't do it alone. We need the "Village," no matter what that looks like. The American people or Corporate America or a combination of both. We need to build a partnership that will help us continue moving forward and affect change. If your company is looking for a "cause" to get behind, then help us work harder towards ending homelessness and suicides. Become a partner and a member of our "village." www.vettrack.org #military #homelessness #suicideprevention #housing #honor #pride #selfesteem #selfworth #dignity #veterans #veteranshelpingveterans #veteransupport #firstresponders

What's more important in the world of a nonprofit - the mission, or fundraising? In my world, I don't think you can answer one without the other. No matter the mission, there is always a "cost" of doing do. Our Foundation provides household furniture and accessories to veterans exiting homelessness, first responders and victims of domestic violence and human trafficking. The furniture and accessories we use in our furnishings comes from donors all across our region of operations. So because the items are being donated most folks don't see the need to financially support our organization...as we get the items we need to support our mission at no cost! What donors don't understand is that it takes on average 3-4 donation pickup missions to meet the need of one veteran. Fuel, labor, storage, insurance - the cost of "doing good" is not cheap! In order to keep our mission moving forward, our Foundation has created several Community Outreach events that we do each year to raise the necessary funding to sustain our efforts for the year. May - Tee-Up to End Homelessness Charity Golf Tournament August 10, 2024 - Charity Car Show September 28, 2024 - Chesterfield Freedom Festival November 8, 2024 - Walk to End Homelessness We are looking for Corporate Partners to help us with the three remaining events this year. Send me an email if your company is interested in becoming a partner in Ending Homelessness - Rick@VetTrack.org.
