By supporting Building Tomorrow, you play a crucial role in helping NVSBC-EF achieve its mission on an even greater scale by creating and sustaining lasting opportunities for veterans, their families, and our communities.

Your financial contributions will help fund essential training, networking opportunities, and advocacy efforts that prioritize the needs of Service-Disabled and Veteran Owned Small Businesses at a critical moment when traditional contracting and subcontracting opportunities are imperiled.  

Building Tomorrow

The NVSBC-EF Building Tomorrow campaign offers an opportunity to ensure Veteran Owned Small Businesses have enhanced access to opportunities enabling them to start, operate, sustain, and compete to serve federal agencies and other government contractors.

The Challenge

42%

of veteran business owners report difficulties with access to capital to launch and grow their enterprises

3.5%

Only 3.5% of federal contracting dollars reach veteran owned businesses

Those who have served our nation face significant hurdles when transitioning to business ownership, and even greater obstacles when attempting to navigate the complex business requirements and strategies of the federal marketplace.

Furthermore, in today’s landscape Service-Disabled and Veteran Owned Small Businesses are facing unprecedented challenges as federal contracting and subcontracting opportunities are curtailed under shifting priorities.

These statistics underscore a pressing need for targeted support, mentorship, and advocacy to ensure our Veterans can successfully compete in the federal marketplace and build sustainable businesses that contribute to America’s economic strength.

The Solution

NVSBC-EF has developed a comprehensive approach to address these challenges through three core services that serve as pillars for our work:

3 Tier Approach - NVSBC Education Foundation

Each pillar is designed to work in concert, creating a comprehensive support system that addresses the unique challenges Veteran entrepreneurs face in federal contracting. Our approach combines immediate tactical support with long-term strategic development, ensuring sustainable success in the federal marketplace.

Additionally, we harness the very best subject matter experts and partners to be able to inform policy that benefits Service-Disabled and Veteran Owned Small Businesses in government contracting. Advocacy is critical to our work, and we commit to prioritizing legislation and relationship-building that most advantages our community.
