The Delaware Veterans Trust, Inc., is a nonprofit corporation as defined by the laws of the State of Delaware. The purpose of Delaware Veterans Trust is to provide financial assistance or grants to assist Delaware Veterans with health care requirements; housing assistance, including utilities, and educational or training programs.
The Delaware Veterans Trust Fund, Inc., accomplishes this by engaging in the following activities:
- Raising public awareness and advocacy for the Delaware Veterans Trust Fund;
- Soliciting grants, donations, gifts, and legacies from other foundations, charitable organizations, veterans’ service organizations, corporations, individuals, and other entities to carry out the charitable purposes of the Delaware Veterans Trust Fund;
- Raising funds to assist veterans and their families with the expenses associated with shelter and the necessities of living.
The fund has paid bills to prevent shutoff of utilities, repossessions, and emergency repairs to needed vehicles. One recipient was provided a replacement for his 12-year-old eyeglasses. Another had a storage bill paid so he could access his tools and accept a job.
100% of contributions go to prescreened, honorably discharged Delaware veterans and their families in verified financial emergency. Money is not handed to recipients. Their bills are paid directly to creditors by the screening committee after they are approved for payment.
