Business Resources for American Veterans Enterprise

MISSION

BRAVE supports the financial well-being of transitioning our dedicated service members, veterans, and their families through thought leadership, student academic research, advocacy, and legislative achievement.

  • BRAVE (Business Resources for American Veterans Enterprise) for Veterans, Inc. is a fiscally sponsored 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to the financial well-being of transitioning military service members. We aim to establish a strong foundation for a high quality of life for veterans as they reintegrate into American civilian workforce and society.

  • BRAVE envisions a future where military Veterans seamlessly navigate civilian systems, empowered by an enhanced platform dedicated to their success. Our resolve lies in identifying and addressing service gaps, facilitating innovative solutions that foster the security, health, and happiness of Veterans and their families. We believe that by uniting all stakeholders in support of Veterans' civilian sustainability, we can cultivate community benefits that reflect our unwavering dedication to service and philanthropy.

  • BRAVE is committed to helping Veterans achieve the security, health, and happiness they deserve. We fulfill this commitment by conducting research and outreach that influence not only public awareness but also federal and state legislation. BRAVE generates donations and funding, enabling their "Bravites" (research interns and volunteer teams) to persist in developing tools that support career development, employer recognition, and philanthropy within the Veteran community.

  • BRAVE is achieving its mission with the assistance of volunteers and donors, whom we gratefully call “Friends of the BRAVE”.

    They consist of professionals and colleagues within our Veteran Ecosystem and student interns (aka “Bravites”).

As a Chinese native, and writing from China now, I appreciated the opportunity to intern at BRAVE where I learned a lot about non-profit contributions and how I was able to make an impact through my work with them.

Leroy is not only a great mentor who helped me overcome many difficult times, but also has become a lifetime friend who supports all my career and life choices.
