Who is responsible for distributing money to veterans, and how can we be sure they will do good work?
The Veterans Innovations Program, a tax-exempt governmental unit under section 170 of the IRS code, authorized by the Washington state legislature in 2006, has a mission to provide flexible funds to veterans who served in recent military action. The Veterans Innovations Program serves as advisor to the Veterans Family Fund and distributes funds at no cost to investors or to the organization. The Veterans Innovations Program has a remarkable track record of service for veterans and their families. In the program’s first year, checks averaged $475 per veteran for such needs as crisis and emergency relief, education, training and employment assistance. These needs often fall through the cracks of other veterans programs.
