What We Do

Americans have repeatedly demonstrated their unmatched compassion and generosity, helping millions of people around the world deal with severe hardships. Now it's time to help an equally worthy community, our current era veterans who personally suffer from the life-altering wounds of war. Thousands of these veterans and their families are now struggling to pay the most basic of living expenses, and many live below the poverty level.

Believing Americans can no longer ignore this silent crisis, Rebuild Hope offers them an immediate and easy away to help these families. Our one-of-a-kind, national network "connects" donors to beneficiaries, and we provide complementary services that increase the veterans odds of success. Rebuild Hope also recognizes their personal sacrifices and efforts to rebuild their lives by sharing their personal stories.

Who We Help

Through Rebuild Hope donors help the families of current era veterans who are

  • dealing with serious service-connected injuries or illnesses,
  • experiencing short term unexpected financial problems for reasons other than unemployment,
  • committed to achieving financial self-sufficiency,
  • and would significantly benefit from our financial assistance.

To qualify for financial assistance applicants must meet several criteria.

  • The veterans must have received a medical disability rating of 50% or more.
  • Their medical disability must be connected to military service after September 11, 2001.
  • They must demonstrate their ability to achieve a positive cash flow generally within 6 months, i.e., they must have certain future sources of income that are sufficient to cover their living expenses.
  • All required documentation and references must be provided.

How We Help

Veterans who join Rebuild Hope receive the following benefits

  • Modest monthly grants and no-interest loans tailored to their circumstances
  • A 12-month budget to guide their decision-making and actions

Donor Perspectives & Benefits

Rebuild Hope offers donors the following benefits:

  • An easy and convenient way to help our beneficiary families
  • Knowledge of who receives help and why, assurance that beneficiaries are properly vetted.
  • A flexible set of donor options: beneficiary - directed, advised or delegated and operations
  • Assurance that 100% of beneficiary donations are distributed
  • Favorable tax treatment
  • A choice of private or public recognition

Even $25.00 donations can make a big difference in a family's quality of life.

While veterans DO receive excellent medical care, the service-connected disability compensation they can receive from the Veterans Administration is generally modest. When you review the beneficiary profiles on this website you will appreciate that even small donations of less than $100.00 can add up quickly to fulfill an important need. While that may not seem like a lot, consider that after paying for housing and utilities many families live on less than $800 a month!
