My Nonprofit Reviews

Love this organization's support to the Veteran community. First and foremost, their usage of donations is transparent and reported annually - currently 88 cents for every $1 dollar goes directly to programming to support Veterans and their families. They are accredited by the Better Business Bureau; GuideStar; and Charity Navigator. Secondly, their programs - Health and Wellness provides incredible individualized needed support. No Veteran is alike in their health challenges and Boot Campaign tailors their programming to support the individual..'no cookie cutter approach.' Finally, I love their annual Santa Boots program that partners with other phenomenal military nonprofits to support military families across the nation during the holiday season in December. Each family has a dedicated shopper to provide the family specific gifts that meet every family member's needs.

As a Veteran that served almost 25 years with three combat deployments to Iraq, I saw first hand the challenges faced by the Soldiers I served with every day. More specifically, I witnessed serious injuries from combat operations. The visible injuries were something that our world class doctors were able to take care of with the best of their abilities. It was the "invisible wounds" of war that have taken its toll on my fellow service members. Suicide rates, divorce rates and the frustrations of dealing with Traumatic Brain Injuries and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder have had a the greatest impact on the Veterans that I have served with. So, I got involved with the Non-Profit called Boot Campaign, Inc. They precisely focus their efforts on Veterans that have PTSD and TBI issues along with Chronic Pain, Sleep and Addiction challenges. The same "big 5" things that are the leading cause of 22 Veterans committing suicide daily. I'm thankful for this organization tackling the hardest medical issues of "invisible wounds" and partnering with World-Class medical facilities to provide any Veteran the opportunity to get help. It's expensive and takes focused resources to provide the holistic support that these Veterans and their families need. Boot Campaign does this so well. Proud to be a part of this organization as a Board Member. Proud to have a Non-Profit that is trying to support Veterans with their greatest need...their health. Finally, proud that Boot Campaign collaborates with other non-profits to support the other needs that might be desired. This is an incredible organization that does everything so well with transparency of their financials and a focus on best use of the dollars that they receive.
