Buy Military-Owned with the 2025 IVMF Holiday Gift Guide
It’s the holiday season, and IVMF is ready to help you get your shopping done quick and easy with our annual Holiday Gift Guide. We’ve collected over 30 veteran- and military spouse-owned companies offering some of the most giftable products of the season! These program alumni have translated their military experience, resilience, and dedication into thriving businesses with purpose.
Supporting veteran- and military spouse-owned businesses is a great place to spend your hard-earned money. Not only do they prioritize hiring fellow veterans and military spouses, they have an interest in helping the entire community.
According to IVMF’s 2021 National Survey of Military Affiliated Entrepreneurs, over 20% of those surveyed cited helping society and supporting their community was a top-five motivation for starting their business. And 45% of veteran entrepreneurs considered themselves “social entrepreneurs”, developing products and services that create solutions to social, cultural, or environmental issues.
Happy Holidays from IVMF, and buy something veteran- or military spouse-owned today!
