As part of our ongoing commitment to serving veterans, active-duty service members and military families, United Way of Tarrant County (UWTC) announces the award of $330,000 in Mission United Veterans Fund grants to nine local nonprofits across Tarrant County.
These organizations provide critical programs that help veterans successfully transition to civilian life, offering counseling, career and financial coaching, substance abuse treatment and other essential services. Their efforts align with UWTC’s four impact areas: healthy community, education and youth opportunity, financial security and community resiliency.
A panel of community volunteers, many of them veterans themselves, reviewed and scored each application package based on established criteria, ensuring funding supports programs with meaningful, measurable impact.
UWTC launched its Veterans Fund in 2013 with founding corporate contributions from Lockheed Martin and Bell. This year’s funding recipients include:
| Veterans Fund Recipient | Impact Area |
| Meals on Wheels of Tarrant County | Community Resiliency |
| Seasons of Change, Incorporated | Community Resiliency |
| Volunteers of America Texas | Financial Security |
| Helping Restore Ability | Healthy Community |
| Community Learning Center, Inc. | Financial Security |
| Recovery Resource Council | Healthy Community |
| STEPS With Horses | Healthy Community |
| Lift Fund | Financial Security |
| Pathfinders of Tarrant County | Financial Security |
