The investment that lasts a lifetime
For over 110 years, the Veterans of Foreign Wars has been member-based, fee drive organization, with close to 5 million members, family, friends and supporters. This model has served the organization well and has allowed us to become one of the most iconic brands of veterans helping veterans in American culture. However, like many organizations today, whether a nonprofit of for-profit, the VFW and its Foundation realizes a more diverse revenue engagement model is good for business and provides a more sustainable financial base from which to continue its good works in communities across the country.
Anchored in the vision of building long-term, strategic, and integrated partnerships with corporations willing to support the VFW's mission, our Corporate sponsorship team is poised to position the organization for continued success. This team identifies strategies and cultivates relationships that develop revenue and resources to support national initiatives and grassroots programs that ultimately reach local veterans and their families.

In-Kind Resources: Budget-relieving products and services are needed to serve veterans and their families in communities nationwide.
