Hope For The Warriors®

We believe those touched by military service can succeed at home by restoring their sense of self, family, and hope. Nationally, Hope For The Warriors® provides comprehensive support programs for service members, veterans, and military families that are focused on transition, health and wellness, peer engagement, and connections to community resources.

WE BELIEVE warriors can thrive with access to integrated services focused on their individual and

Invested in LinkedIn Learning for professional development for the entire staff. Along with choosing all staff courses for our team, we encouraged them to choose additional courses that could help them in their professional growth. We also have a professional development budget that employees can use to take courses or seminars to further their education in their field of expertise.

HOPE works with over 100 non-profit organizations, forming a Strategic Alliance with them to better serve our warriors with their individual needs. Hope For The Warriors works with patriotic companies who work with us to provide HOPE to the warrior community through donations, cause marketing, and events. See our corporate partners here: https://www.hopeforthewarriors.org/get-involved/partners/corporate-partners/ Hope for the Warriors® works directly at the community level to engage both military and civilian communities, uniting corporate and civil leaders, school districts, military agencies, and more to work together with a shared goal of embracing the military families within their community. By developing relationships within the community – through both events and program work – Hope for the Warriors® establishes connectedness to the community that is also a key component of the warrior culture.

RESILIENT NATION. RESILIENT AMERICANS. RESILIENT ORGANIZATION. 2020 challenged us. It tested our resolve, yet ignited our creativity and ingenuity. As a non-profit organization that typically thrives on community gatherings and supporter donations, 2020 forced us to pivot and pivot quickly. We reevaluated every aspect of our organization. We made tough decisions. We scrubbed and improved services. We hustled, collaborated, and dug deep. Some days were harder than others, but staying focused on our mission of serving others kept us moving forward. By looking so deeply inward, we were able to improve our outward reach. We became leaner and more impactful. We realized that with a little tweaking, our existing online infrastructure could be expanded to serve an even greater number of people in need. Our staff, already accustomed to remote work, didn’t skip a beat as the world turned upside down. In 2020, HOPE reached a major milestone when we served our 20,000th Warrior. Not only did we increase our breadth and depth of service within military communities through partnerships like the Steven A. Cohen Military Family Clinic at Hope For The Warriors, we also expanded our scope by reaching a new audience with Resilient Nation. Resilient Nation brings the benefits of warrior-based programming to companies, organizations, and individuals for a nominal fee. By getting creative and finding new revenue streams, we continued serving our warriors and their families even when times got tough. More than 70% of the HOPE team is either a veteran or military spouse. We are not strangers to adversity. While 2020 is not a year we ever want to repeat, We are grateful for the lessons we have learned. Motivated by our military families, impressed by the goodness of our team, and overwhelmed by the continued generosity of our donors. At times a global pandemic may seem like an insurmountable challenge, but you can’t cancel HOPE. We were, and will continue to be, resilient always.
