Nonprofit Contributions: Reflections and Looking Forward

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Abstract

Many of today’s nonprofits, with their wide range of capacities and talents, contribute to their communities, states, and nation by serving those who currently serve and have served in the military, as well as their families. This is a remarkable example of how Americans step up to need. While federal and state governments along with local communities strive to provide needed programs and services for those who serve or have served our nation, nonprofits play a vital role in filling the gaps by meeting otherwise unmet needs. Historically, the focus of nonprofits has been on the individual military member or veteran. However, we now recognize that with more than half of our volunteer force being married, the entire family serves and experiences a shared sacrifice. Nonprofits must respond accordingly.

Based on need, tremendous growth has occurred in organizations focused on providing support in wellness, healthcare, employment, housing, and education. No single organization, whether public or private sector, can provide for all these unmet needs. As a result, the public and private sector as well as nonprofits must make a collaborative effort to mutually support military members, veterans, and their families. In today’s changing environment, nonprofit organizations face challenges in providing first-class services and programs while not overextending their limited resources. To continue being successful, nonprofit organizations must be innovative in thinking, strategic in planning, and efficient and relevant in their operations.
