My Nonprofit Reviews

Its disappointing to hear reviews that misunderstand the total $ figure directed towards our wounded veterans. The bottom line is these guys support badly injured soldiers thru direct financial aid and equally important through programs that support, benefit and educate our injured troops some indirect and some direct ie. public awareness campaigns and serious workshops that cater to our troops in ways I had not understood before. I took a look at their financials too. Of course I was very interested in the numbers and that’s why I was eager to speak with one of their veteran spokesman when he came to my area for a meeting with a corporate sponsor for their conference they hold each year. The corporate sponsor fell through but I was able to help out. Hear is one of the most important things I learned that I had not understood as clearly as I would have liked to: Aside from emergency aid they approach aiding our wounded vets for the long term by bringing together the personnel,logistics and everything else needed for serious educational workshops covering benefits, services, insurance, healthcare, financial support, career counseling and employment opportunities. They mainly do this at their Road to Recovery conference each year but their public awareness helps with this too. We know these injured troops are getting a bad shake at the hospital and when they get out they’re forgotten about. They’re left to fend for themselves and no amount of gift baskets, bottles of water or blankets will get these guys back up on their feet the way the Coalition to Salute America’s Heroes does with their programs. Are there costs associated with the organization, logistics of such a huge production bringing together hundreds of vets, families, specialized staff, caretakers etc. and public awareness programs? Yes. Is it worth it? I think yes.
