A partnership has been formed between The Mission Continues and the Goldman Sachs Gives (GSG) a donor advised fund to the tune of 20 million dollars, in support of our wounded veterans that are out of work and in need of much support.
This money will be used to form a group of non-profit and profit organizations which serve our veterans and military families, like the
Wall Street Warfighters Foundation and National Military Families Association.
These are two fine examples of what this program is aiming to achieve for our veterans and future vets of america.
Most of our veterans have served our great country and they return home to no job or because of their injuries and are incapable for one reason or another to fore-fill the jobs they once held before going off to war.
It has been said that "92% of our veterans have expressed a great need to want to serve there country after they have returned home" said Eric Greitens, CEO and founder of: The Mission Continues and this new partnership will open the way for them to do just that.
At 5 million dollars a year over a five year period this money will be distributed to The Mission Continues, to bridge the gap for our wounded vets and their families to cross, providing jobs in community service, net working, Job placement, readiness training and family support programs like we've never seen before.
The Mission Continues will be in charge of creating 500 paid community service fellowships across the country over the next five years.
Scott Air Force bases in St. Louis Mo. and the men and women whom have serves in the military, will be able to have a smoother transition from there military life back into the civilian community thanks to (GSG).
Our hats are off to Golden Sachs Gives for there contribution and support of veterans all across America, it is much needed.
