Black Veterans for Social Justice (BVSJ), a 45-year-old
nonprofit organization dedicated to providing essential services to
U.S. veterans and their families, is grateful for Navy Federal
Credit Union’s philanthropic support. The grant will support
tailored solutions for our nation's heroes through BVSJ’s Veterans
Everyday Campaign.
Veterans Everyday is an ongoing effort to provide essential
services and meet the needs of U.S. veterans every single day.
Understanding that every veteran’s journey is unique, Veterans
Everyday is a collective effort to fundraise and implement
tailor-made solutions to ensure no veteran is left behind.
Annually, BVSJ assists thousands of veterans with a myriad of
difficulties. Unfortunately, many of these vital services are not
covered by city, state, or federal funding.
Through Navy Federal’s donation, BVSJ will extend services to
veterans who are often the most vulnerable—those residing in urban
areas—by introducing additional programming, including on-site
clinical services and promoting economic empowerment through
financial literacy and technology training courses. This
collaboration not only strengthens their efforts but also showcases
the power of community and corporate partnerships in addressing the
needs of our veterans.
“We are proud to support BVSJ and its ongoing efforts to benefit
veterans and their families,” said Brittani Ivey, EVP, Real Estate
Lending and Financial Opportunity at Navy Federal. “We champion
communities through nonprofit support, which can connect us with
opportunities to engage with underserved veteran populations and
share our resources with them. We are a mission-driven organization
that is always honored to support veterans in their livelihoods and
financial well-being.”
“We are thrilled to partner with Navy Federal Credit Union to
expand our reach and enhance the support we provide to veterans,”
said Wendy McClinton, U.S. Army veteran and CEO of Black Veterans
for Social Justice. “As someone who has walked the path of military
service, I understand the challenges veterans face in transitioning
to civilian life. This collaboration reconfirms our commitment to
ensuring that every veteran has the opportunity to succeed and
thrive."
