Support MIL-CO First

This work exists because someone had to start it.

Every person navigating life as a veteran, a military spouse, or a transitioning service member deserves access to the right resources without having to fight a fragmented system to find them. MIL-CO First is building that system, and growing it with the support of partners, funders, and people who believe the work matters. There are a few ways to be part of it.

MIL-CO First is an LLC · Contributions are not tax-deductible

Always Free

Every service for the military-connected community is permanently free. Partner and funder programs are structured separately.

Growing

Expanding county by county, state by state with more tools, more resources, and more reach on the way.

Navigator in Development

The AI-powered Navigator Companion is coming. Funding partners make it possible to bring it to the people who need it most.

Visibility Changes Everything

For the people this serves, being seen and connected is often the first step toward stability.
