Got Your 6 Network Partners

We Stand Out

We offer our programming at no cost to our partners. Our local partners invest substantial time and attention for the benefit of their communities. We are committed to facilitating access to tools and resources they need to collaborate effectively.

We are the nation’s largest network of communities collaborating for impact in the lives of veterans, yielding the nation’s largest and most inclusive set of data about the capacity of those communities to work together effectively.

We find, fund, and facilitate a robust portfolio of educational resources for the communities in our network, singularly focused on increasing their capacity to collaborate for success.

We promote shared learning by leveraging the expertise of recognized Subject-Matter Experts for stakeholder benefit.

We embrace all collaborative frameworks – from VA-inspired Community Veteran Engagement Boards to veteran collaboratives anchored at community foundations, mayors’ offices, and chambers of commerce – and actively encourage and provide resources that facilitate the inclusion of non-veteran stakeholders, as critical to success in this work.

We continuously assess the capacity-building and learning needs of our local partner collaboratives and help design, fund, and coordinate the delivery of tailored technical assistance based on their unique needs.

We advocate for the engagement of grantmakers as stakeholders in veteran wellbeing.

Got Your 6 Grant Program

Bob Woodruff Foundation invests in programs that help our service members, veterans, and their families and caregivers thrive. In 2020, we adjusted our grantmaking to address the urgent needs of the military-veteran community during COVID-19 and expedited our processes to provide support when and where it was needed most.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between local partners and grantees?

BWF grantees are organizations that submit an application for funding during an open grant cycle and receive funding to support a specific program. Grants funding is not automatically renewed or guaranteed; organizations must re-apply to request additional funding. Learn more about grant eligibility requirements and current BWF grant priorities:

More Information on Grants

Local partners receive smaller funding amounts often earmarked for certain issues, but a partnership with BWF is much more than just funding. BWF offers mentorship, incubation, and invaluable resources to help smaller organizations grow and work together to achieve the maximum positive impact on their local veteran and military community.

How do I become a local partner in the Got Your 6 Network?

First, check the directory to see if there is an active collaborative in your area. You may be surprised to find that there is already a group with momentum working on issues that you care about.

If there’s not a veterans’ collaborative in your area, fill out the form and we’ll review it. If approved, we’ll ask you to sign a mutual commitment letter and complete a guided self-assessment so that we can assign you to intentional learning cohorts and tailor our programming to your needs.

You’ll start receiving scholarship opportunities, invitations to private shared learning events, and collaboration funding opportunities.

In the meantime, you and all members of your collaborative are welcome to attend public events listed on our events calendar and explore the resources available in our resource library.
