Bochnowski Family Veteran Fellowship Program (Hoover Institution, Stanford)
Nonprofit
PCHIPS Purpose. 🧭 Navigation
Year-long, non-residential policy fellowship at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University, launched in fall 2021 and directed under Condoleezza Rice, for ten mid-career military veterans annually who are established in the private, public, and nonprofit sectors. Unlike leadership programs that train those who serve veterans, this one develops veterans themselves as policy problem-solvers: fellows leverage Hoover and Stanford scholars and networks, participate in up to six in-person engagements plus virtual sessions, and produce a capstone project delivering actionable solutions to a policy challenge in their own community — spanning government, business, workforce, schools, public health, and public safety. Veterans from all branches who served on active duty within the last 25 years are eligible. Selection weighs demonstrated leadership, professional success, and the viability of the proposed capstone. Free to fellows; competitive annual application, typically due mid-August. Included as infrastructure — it builds veteran policy leadership capacity rather than delivering direct services.

DoD Warrior Games
Government
CCHIPS Community. 🤝 Peer
Multi-sport event for wounded, injured, or ill service members and veterans, organized by the U.S. Department of Defense and held annually since 2010 (paused only for the 2020-2021 pandemic). Designed to enhance recovery journeys outside traditional therapy settings by bringing the military community together for recovery in real time; a recent Games featured roughly 175 athletes competing across 11 adaptive sports over nine days. The event grew directly out of the Ride 2 Recovery 2009 Texas Challenge and in turn helped inspire the international Invictus Games. Athletes represent the Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, Space Force, and Special Operations Command, alongside international partner teams. A DoD program rather than an org a veteran joins directly — participation flows through each service's Warrior Care program.

Onward Ops
Nonprofit
CCHIPS Community. 🤝 Peer
A program by veterans for veterans — Onward Ops focuses on the critical 12-month window between leaving the military and reintegrating into civilian life, the period when suicide risk is three times higher than any other time. Led by Brig. Gen. (ret.) Mike Eastman, Onward Ops connects transitioning service members with trained volunteer sponsors from their destination community who check in weekly, provide local knowledge, and make sure no one navigates the transition alone. Free planning tools, a personalized transition dashboard, Google Workspace, and access to benefits and resources complete the model. On track to reach 100,000 veterans annually by 2026 — roughly half of all separating service members. Available to active duty, Reserve, and National Guard members, and veterans within 90 days of separation. Partners include the Veteran Sponsorship Initiative (VSI). Veterans with a transition sponsor are 63% more likely to avoid crisis.

Nonprofit
ICHIPS Identity. 🤝 Peer
National nonprofit founded in 2008 helping veterans and first responders affected by PTSD, TBI, and injury achieve rehabilitation, recovery, and resilience through cycling. Best known for its multi-day Challenge rides — group cycling events of up to several hundred miles where injured veterans ride for free on specially adapted bikes, hand-cycles, recumbents, and custom tandems — plus more than a dozen single-day Honor Rides in major markets and community-based HUB centers in over 45 cities where veterans and first responders connect and ride together year-round. The program grew out of Ride 2 Recovery, and its 2009 Texas Challenge was where the DoD Warrior Games concept was born.

Stand-To Veteran Leadership Program (George W. Bush Institute)
Nonprofit
PCHIPS Purpose. 🧭 Navigation
Leadership development program of the George W. Bush Institute, launched in 2018, that builds the skills and scales the impact of people working across the veteran and military family space. A first-of-its-kind program convening active-duty service members, veterans, military spouses, and civilians from diverse sectors over a five-month curriculum taught by nationally known experts in veteran issues and leadership. Scholars complete a leadership project applied directly to a veteran problem — past efforts include advocating for veterans' legal needs, opening employment paths for military spouses overseas, and building support programs for Medal of Honor recipients and families. Over 250 alumni across eight classes now hold leadership roles in nonprofits, government, business, and academia serving veterans. Free to Scholars; competitive annual application. Grew out of the Bush Institute's Stand-To summit, where 70+ organizations convened on veteran health, education, and employment priorities. Included as ecosystem infrastructure — it develops the leaders who run veteran-serving organizations rather than delivering direct services, and the Institute's own diagnosis of sector fragmentation and duplication mirrors the navigation gap this map addresses.

PCHIPS Purpose. 🤝 Peer
Founded in 2010 by two Marine veterans after the Haiti earthquake — Team Rubicon deploys veteran volunteers to disaster zones and underserved communities, giving veterans a continued mission after service. 175,000+ veteran volunteers, 1,000+ operations in 60+ countries and across the United States.

The Independence Fund
Nonprofit
HCHIPS Help. 🎖️ Disability
National nonprofit founded in 2007 in the halls of Walter Reed to empower catastrophically wounded, injured, or ill veterans and their families to overcome the physical, mental, and emotional wounds of service. Best known for its Mobility Program, which has provided nearly 2,000 specialized all-terrain trackchairs — engineered for snow, mud, and rough terrain — to severely wounded veterans, restoring outdoor independence that a standard wheelchair cannot. Its Caregiver and Family Program directly serves the caregivers behind the wounded: small-group respite retreats, peer-to-peer support networks, and community connection that give 24/7 caregivers rest and recognition — a direct-service complement to the Elizabeth Dole Foundation's advocacy and network model. Additional programs include Heroes at Home family support, Operation Resiliency (a VA partnership reuniting combat units to combat veteran suicide), casework and VA claims navigation, and a Veterans Justice Initiative advocacy arm. Led by CEO Sarah Verardo, herself the caregiver to a catastrophically wounded veteran. Serves veterans, families, caregivers, and allied combat partners.
