A HAND UP, NOT A HANDOUT
After serving our country, our military veterans often return home from their service without a home or are at risk of losing their homes.
Many low-income veterans need a hand-up, not a handout
Because these veterans have no permanent place to live, tonight, in the United States, 226,200 will sleep on the street, in abandoned buildings, and in places unfit for human habitation.
VAlanthropy Vision
To reduce the specter of ignored veterans by creating desirable, affordable permanent residences for low-income veterans and those about to become homeless.
VAlanthropy Mission
To structure a nonprofit 501(c)(3) corporation that utilizes federal, state, and local resources, charitable donors, and faith-based organizations to provide affordable, desirable, sanitary, permanent housing to low-income and very low-income veterans of the US military services who are or are facing homelessness.
VAlanthropy Values
- Philanthropy
- Innovation
- Diversity
- Corporate and Social responsibility
- Sustainability
- Trustworthy management and oversight
Who
VAlthrophy’s concept includes developing housing communities for those veterans who may be facing homelessness
What
Veteran-only communities will be designed and constructed to enrich the surrounding neighborhoods and give veterans a sense of belonging.
When
VAlanthropy is collecting donations now. With your help, the successful project launch in Sumter, South Carolina, will happen this year.
Where
The first project is scheduled for Sumter, South Carolina. It will serve as a model for other communities locally and around the US.
Why
The critical need for permanent, affordable veteran housing continues. Temporary housing is not a viable solution; it is only a temporary fix. Permanent housing is a vital and sustainable need.
Please help us help deserving veterans.
Donations are tax Exempt
VAlanthropy is a tax-exempt nonprofit formed and authorized under section 501 (c) (3) of Title 26 of the U.S. Federal Tax Code.
