    Investment in Leadership Development
    15 out of 15 points
    The nonprofit provides evidence of investment in leadership development.
    Assigning personal mentors/advisors to each leader of the organization has been a game changer for the mental health of our staff. If not managed properly, the organization's work can be emotionally draining. Furthermore, the CEO has been removed from all forensic investigations, ensuring his focus is 100% on growing the organization.

    Adaptability Practices
    30 out of 30 points
    The nonprofit has an opportunity to tell the story of how the organization adapted to tremendous external changes in the last year
    From the fall of Afghanistan to our nation's continued appetite for endless wars has created a mental health crisis among the military's active-duty community. This has resulted in a spike in fraudulent discharges of injured service members. The need for USJAG's services has increased, while donations continue to remain at a stagnant level due to the economic uncertainties the nation is facing. The all-volunteer staff at USJAG is becoming increasingly stretched thin as more cases come in. Due to the aforementioned, USJAG has to triage cases, and unfortunately, many injured service members are being denied a medical retirement and stripped of their benefits, honors, and dignity.
