Veterans Live in Every County—But Access Doesn’t.

From rural towns to urban centers, too many Veterans and military families face barriers—limited mental health care, housing challenges, isolation, and gaps in local support. Traditional systems often move too slowly to meet urgent needs.

That’s where fiscal sponsorship makes all the difference.

At Veterans Collaborative, we believe the most powerful solutions start locally. We partner with Veteran-led and Veteran-serving changemakers—providing the infrastructure, tax-exempt status, and compliance support they need to launch programs, raise funds, and lead in their communities. All without the burden of forming a new nonprofit.

But we aren’t stopping there! We have a vision of how this incredible tool can change the availability of service and resources in our most challenged communities with our Veterans, service members, and advocates leading the way!

Today, we are pitched incredible projects and bold ideas—and we’re proud to help bring them to life. That’s not changing.

But what if we expanded the model?

What if communities—states, towns, and regions—told us what’s missing?
What if we issued a challenge and asked the community to pitch solutions?
Solutions designed and led by the very people who live and serve there.

We’ve imagined it. And we’re building it.

This is fiscal sponsorship with purpose.

We are getting to the root of the challenge. It’s a way to remove red tape and unlock grassroots leadership—empowering Veterans, spouses, and local advocates to lead the change they know is needed.

We believe their leadership is needed here at home. We are making it easier for them to answer the call and serve on the home-front.

Here’s the call to action: If you’ve got a vision, story, or a solution that could change lives where you live… we want to hear about it.
