How You Can Support America's Heroes This Month

Hey, I'm a big supporter of veterans and milfams, and the orgs that help 'em out. One way that the Craig Newmark Philanthropic Fund supports them each year is through the Veterans Charity Challenge. This is the 4th year hosting the Challenge as a way to help raise as much money and awareness as possible for organizations benefiting America's heroes and their families.

The Veterans Charity Challenge is a crowdfunding competition where orgs benefitting veterans, military families, police, and firefighters compete to raise money for their cause. The Craig Newmark Philanthropic Fund is donating $50K to help out. I would love to see your organizations join the Veterans Charity Challenge.

There are lots of opportunities to win money for your org:

• The top raising charity will receive a $20,000 donation,
• Second place will get $10,000,
• Third will get $5,000,
• Fourth will get $2,500,
• And fifth will receive $1,000.
• Plus, there’s a total of $11,500 in weekly Bonus Challenges being given away, as well. Check out the Bonus Challenges Here for all the info.

The thing is, I figure that service members, vets, and milfams all risk a lot for us, so the least we can do is help 'em out when we're able...
