Entrepreneurship
Military families have leadership skills, resilience and attention to detail that make them perfect business owners. IVMF offers intensive training, networking and resources at no cost for transitioning service members, veterans and military spouses to support you on your entrepreneurial journey.
Community Services
When military families return to the communities they call home, they deserve an efficient and supportive team to help them navigate the maze of care, resources and services available to them. The IVMF’s AmericaServes program gets community providers working together to streamline the help you need to sustain healthy and productive, stable lives following military service.
Research & Analytics
IVMF programs develop from listening to veterans and their families. A national leader in veteran research and analytics, located within a national research University, IVMF also provides actionable insights enabling other organizations to improve their service to veterans, active military and their families. Our research also helps to inform national policy, enhancing the work government agencies do on behalf of those who served.
