To date, more than 200,000+ transitioning service members, veterans and military family members, were impacted by IVMF programs. In 2007, when we launched our very first program – before the IVMF was even founded – that number was 17. Those numbers matter because they speak to our mission, and the commitment of our people, our funders, our partners, and our world-class advisory board to take action to advance and positively impact the post-service lives of this nation’s veterans and their families.
