"Our goal is to educate, inform, and launch. Our veterans have earned our help." — Jim Hendley, Executive Director
Where Your Money Goes
Every dollar goes directly
to veteran success.
We keep our overhead lean so your donation does the maximum good — approximately 80 cents of every dollar donated goes directly to program costs. Here's exactly how contributions fuel the Veteran Parent Project program.
12-Week Curriculum
Funding expert instructors, curriculum development, and all training materials for each cohort of 15 veterans.
$3,500 Launch Grants
Every graduate receives a $3,500 launch grant to invest in marketing and launching their business.
Childcare Stipends
$200 per week for the full 12-week program — removing the childcare barrier that keeps single parents out of training.
Business Coaching & Mentorship
Hands-on coaching keeps veterans supported through the program and into their first year of business operation.
Technology & Software Access
Technology tools and software licenses provided to every student to support their new business.
Veteran Peer Community
Building a growing community of veteran entrepreneurs who support and refer one another.
