1.  The El Paso County Colorado Progressive Veterans is an IRS vetted and approved 501(c)4 Social Welfare Veterans nonprofit organization.  We focus on the many ways that we can help our Veterans, Active Duty Military and their families. Our website has nearly 100 Veteran support groups listed, with hot links to the appropriate websites. These include everything from homeless solutions, FREE trained support dogs, FREE scuba diving lessons and even how to get FREE Colorado license plates. We have also included excellent information on how to apply for VA Healthcare and Disability Benefits.  Click the Assistance Button for more information.

2. We give a voice to El Paso County Colorado Veterans, Active Duty Military and their families. To do this effectively, we need to have our voice in Washington DC.  For us to be heard, we need numbers ... in other words, a large number of members. There are NO dues or meetings.  Mem-bership is strictly confidential and our membership numbers are used only for communicating with Congress, their leadership and the VA.  Click the About Us button above to learn more about membership and the benefits that membership offers.

3. We don't stop there. We are raising money to increase our membership by running communication ads in various media.  Veterans won't find us just by word of mouth.  Additionally, we do have some operational expenses, such as this website.  We have no paid staff or rent and Board members are not compensated.  Please donate.  Our Donate button has a hot link to make this easy.  A 501(c)4 can NOT donate to candidates or political parties, but we do endorse candidates and political parties.  Our current endorsements are located under the About Us button.

We are here 7 days a week, 365 days a year to help Veterans, Active Duty Military AND their families.  This means anything from finding help for emergency food to utility and rent payments.  We also have links to a wide range of FREE activities for the Veteran and their families.  We are here to find help for Veterans in Crisis by finding them immediate support.

We find resources that offer budgeting assistance, trained PTSD dogs (FREE), legal counseling and of course, mental health counseling.   Employment assistance, education support and transition services are available.  All of these are FREE.

Our Colorado Button lists Veteran Homes (there are 5 in Colorado and most Veterans with a VA Disability can live there FREE), FREE license plates, property tax exemptions, income tax reductions, FREE fishing and hunting licenses and FREE admission to State Parks.  Requirements for each of these benefits are by clicking our Resource Button.
