Established in 2019, VETCares, Inc. is a 501.c.3 nonprofit established to support military, veterans, and their families due to hardship. Our programs are designed to achieve shortterm objectives while ensuring long-term sustainability.
Our focus areas include suicide prevention education, alternative therapies gap grants, home buyer closing cost grants, emergency financial assistance, military sexual trauma resources, domestic violence grants, and outdoor healing adventures for those rediscovering purpose and tranquility.
“It is our duty as patriots to create a supportive community for veterans in need and to empower them to live independent and successful lives through access to resources, education, financial assistance, and healing therapies,” said Son Nguyen, Navy Veteran and Founder, VETCares, Inc. “Let’s give our servicemembers and veterans a hand-up, while honoring their service and dedication to our country.”
Our partners have many options to serve our nation’s heroes in the form of cause marketing, media partnerships, in-kind donations, corporate donations, foundational grants, and employment campaigns. We will ensure that this collaboration compliments your existing brand values, strengthens your military and veteran image, and provides your organization a platform to make a tremendous difference in the lives of military families, servicemembers, and veterans across America.
“The lives that we touch through our programs and grants are because of our generous partners and donors,” said Carla Lemon, Executive Director, VETCares, Inc. “The successful transformation of veterans through our ‘CampCares’ outdoor healing adventures are simply amazing!”
Note: Although established in 2019, due to the pandemic, we did not begin to fully operate until third quarter of 2022. We are proud to have helped as many as applicants as we have from ground ZERO. It has been truly through dedication, sacrifice, and the generosity our sister company USA Homeownership Foundation, Inc. DBA Veterans association of Real Estate Professionals (VAREP). A big shout out to ALL the fundraising efforts from VAREP Nation and its sponors.

Military & Veterans Emergency Grant Critical Help for Critical Times
2025 Fundraising Goal - $25,000
VETCares is proud to support servicemembers and veterans through the Miliary & Veteran Emergency Grant (MVEG) program, which provides emergency financial support to veterans and their relatives.

Stop, Drop, & Push Campaign Grant Wellness Through Alternative Therapy
2025 Fundraising Goal - $25,000
The suicide rate among veterans is alarmingly high, with 22 veterans dying by suicide every day in the United States - That is why VETCares established the Stop Drop & Push Campaign Grant (SDPG). equine therapy such as yoga, art therapy, horse, fishing, surfing, diving, outdoor, and music therapies are proven to be incredibly effective in providing veterans with the tools they need to cope with the challenges of post-military life.
VETCares’ SDP grant provides GAP funding to veterans that want to attend alternative therapy programs but don’t have the money for transportation, program cost, hotel, gas, and/or food.
Trauma Thriver Grant Victory Through Adversity
2025 Fundraising Goal - $25,000
VETCares’ Trauma Thriver (TTG) Grant offers support to victims of MST and domestic violence. The grants can help provide necessary resources to ensure that victims of trauma are able to access the support they need to heal and recover.
Two TTG categories:
Military Sexual Trauma (MST) is a serious issue that affects many service members and veterans; it is important that we do all we can to provide support and assistance to those who have experienced it.
According to studies domestic violence within the military and veteran communities is high and that is why our grants help individuals access services such as counseling and legal assistance, to help them reclaim their lives to become victorious.
CampCares Healing Grant Outdoor Immersive Experience
2025 Fundraising Goal - $150,000
CampCares is designed to provide outdoor healing retreats including hunting, fishing, back- country hiking, conservation, equine therapy, and meditation programs that are immersed in nature’s solitude to heal the soul.
