What’s Our Got Your 6 Network?
Our Got Your 6 Network includes our best-in-class grantees and our national network of local partners.
Together, we support millions of veterans, service members, and their families in the communities they call home.
2022 VetFest: Award-Winning Country Artists Support Our Veterans and Service Members
We welcomed hundreds of local veterans, active duty service members, and military families at our family-friendly event in Nashville. Award-winning country artists Conner Smith, Kat and Alex, Tyler Rich, Mickey Guyton, and Lee Ann Womack entertained our guests. We organized food and drinks, carnival-style games, a raffle with amazing prizes, and invited partners to host informational booths.
2022 Got Your 6 Summit: Problem Solving In Veteran Support Space
In collaboration with New York City’s Department of Veterans’ Services (DVS), we hosted the Got Your 6 Summit in June 2022. Community leaders came together to problem solve in the veteran support space. Our notable guests included General George W. Casey, Jr, USA (Ret.), Craig Newmark, Bob Woodruff, New York City Mayor Eric Adams, and NYC DVS Commissioner James Hendon.

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.

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.
