Community

Find your people again.

One of the hardest parts of leaving service isn't the paperwork or the transition. It's losing your unit, the people who had your back every day. We want to help you find that again.

Our approach

We're not going to build a fake online forum and call it community. Veterans don't need another feed to scroll. They need real people, real places, and real connection.
This page is a starting point: what already exists, how to find it, and where we're headed as we grow.

What already exists

You don't need Vet Finance to find your community. These are happening right now, in your city, with no funding required.

  • Black Rifle Coffee

    Many Black Rifle Coffee locations host regular veteran meetups, often on Saturday mornings. Ask your local store. Show up, grab a coffee, meet your people. No sign up, no cost, just veterans being veterans.

  • GORUCK Clubs

    Free local ruck clubs across the country. Grab a pack, hit the streets, and suffer together like the old days. Heavily veteran-populated and open to everyone.

    All agesFree to join

  • MilSim West & MilSim East

    Large-scale military simulation events that put you back in the field with your boys. Think airsoft, but at a whole different level: tactical, immersive, and a blast.

  • Airsoft & Paintball Events

    Local airsoft fields and paintball parks run open play days constantly. Easy to organize a group, low cost, and a great way to get the competitive edge back.

  • VFW & American Legion Posts

    Posts in nearly every city in the country. Events, support, and a place to sit down with veterans who have been through it all. A proven foundation.

    All agesMembership based

  • Hunting & Fishing Groups

    Some of the most therapeutic time a veteran can have. Many veteran-specific hunting and fishing organizations operate nationwide and offer free or subsidized trips.

Where we're headed

From pointing the way to showing up.

As Vet Finance grows, the goal is to go from pointing veterans to existing events to actually organizing and sponsoring our own.

None of this requires a big budget to start, just people who care showing up for each other.

  1. 01Vet Finance x Black Rifle Coffee meetup series in major cities
  2. 02Sponsored MilSim and airsoft events with Vet Finance branding
  3. 03Annual summit: finance workshops in the morning, range day in the afternoon
  4. 04Mentorship program pairing younger vets with older ones who've figured it out
  5. 05Partner with GORUCK for branded rucks supporting the mission
