Brand Management, Strategic Marketing, Public Relations and general partnership management of the Veteran Franchise Initiative (VFI) — a benefit corporation providing Veterans with equity funding grants to secure business financing through the Small Business Administration or other lending institutions for the purchase of a franchised business opportunity.
This program is the first private initiative of its kind, and provides a direct opportunity to help fund Veteran entrepreneurship, creating a path to success, stability and dignity through entrepreneurship.
Our Goal
To raise a minimum of $1.5 million dollars per year and fund at least 40 Veterans annually. The more we raise, the more grants we issue.
How?
VFI raises funds through donations from companies, groups and individuals as well as a series of special events at MFV franchise expositions held annually throughout the United States.
Equity grants in the amount of $25,000 are issued to qualified Veterans and their prospective franchisor, enabling them to secure business loans for the launch of their own business.
