community

veterans can…deliver

All the initiatives in our Veterans Can…Deliver programme are proposed and selected by members of our community. At least 70% of all donations go towards making them happen.

Through member subscriptions, donations, and other passive income streams, our community enables Veterans to serve on and support wider society by providing regular grants. These grants make a tangible and positive impact via our Veterans Can… Deliver initiatives, the positive way in which the community does good, often in support of others.

We ask those who register, join and subscribe to make a donation to do so, and while we are transparent around the fact we require funds to operate, our pledge is that at least 70% of all funds coming in go towards Veterans Can… Deliver projects – that are voted on by the community.

Through doing this we wish to offer our members the ability to not only see where their money goes, but also have a real ability to shape the direction the CIC travels, who it supports, and why, placing the community’s long-term interest above profit or reserves, ensuring transparency, sustainability and community involvement.

By focusing and reinforcing positivity, Veterans Can… offers a viable alternative to a tired and often negative conventional charity model.

The next round of Veterans Can… Deliver grant voting and awards will take place in Oct/Nov this year.
