Mission Statement
GI Go Fund is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit charitable organization that assists veterans, active-duty personnel, their family members, veteran supporters, and all members of the military community with finding employment, connecting to their benefits, and accessing housing opportunities.
Description
Our organization was founded in 2006 in memory of Lt. Seth Dvorin, a childhood friend of the GI Go founders who was killed by an IED blast while serving in Iraq. His passing was a terrible tragedy to his family, friends, and our entire community. So the GI Go Fund was created in his honor to make sure that no military members' sacrifice and bravery are ever forgotten, and that our veterans are taken care of when they return home.
Since the organization’s founding, we have worked to preserve Seth's name and honor his legacy by helping veterans every day. We provide employment assistance to veterans looking for work, housing and financial aid to veterans in their most desperate hour, as well as benefits assistance and legal support to military families struggling with civil or criminal matters. In addition, we are developing innovative programs to give veterans assistance in finding employment and developing a small business, transportation support, mentoring, job training, and much more. We do all this in honor of our friend Seth, and we will continue to do so every day!
