Gilford, New Hampshire – July 12, 2022
Camp Resilience is pleased to announce a substantial grant award of $16,500, from the Disabled Veterans National Foundation (DVNF) to support Veteran Women’s Retreats. Funding from the DVNF generously supports the Veteran Women’s Creativity Retreat, October 3-6, 2022, and the Veteran Women’s Military Sexual Trauma retreat, November 3– 6, 2022.
Funding from the DVNF will allow Camp Resilience to serve Veteran Women struggling to recover from moral injury and sexual trauma experienced during their military service. This generous grant is expected to significantly impact the lives of more than 25 Veteran Women.
Matt Dubois (US Navy Capt. Ret.), Camp Resilience Executive Director commented, “It takes a village to ensure that our Veterans receive the care and support that they require and deserve. The Veterans Affairs Department challenges each one of us to embrace that charge at a local level. With the help of the Disabled Veteran’s National Foundation, Camp Resilience is fortunate to be able to serve our greatest assets. We recognize that Veterans return home to communities, not governments. It is here, where their success is determined. We are grateful to the DVNF to help make that mission a reality for the heroes we serve.”
Joseph VanFonda (USMC Sgt.Maj. Ret.), CEO of the Disabled Veterans National Foundation said, “Camp Resilience serves our greatest assets, our veterans. We are very excited to partner with this wonderful organization.”
Disabled Veterans National Foundation exists to provide critically needed support to disabled and at-risk veterans who leave the military wounded—physically or psychologically—after defending our safety and our freedom.

Disabled Veterans National Foundation exists to provide critically needed support to disabled and at-risk veterans who leave the military wounded—physically or psychologically—after defending our safety and our freedom.
DVNF achieves this mission by:
- Offering direct financial support to veteran organizations that address the unique needs of veterans, and whose missions align with that of DVNF.
- Providing supplemental assistance to homeless and low-income Veterans through the Health & Comfort program and various empowerment resources.
- Providing an online resource database that allows Veterans to navigate the complex process of seeking benefits and resources that they are entitled to as a result of their military service.
- Serving a think tank on critical policy issues within the Veteran community and educating the public accordingly.
The American Legion Post 58 is very pleased to provide yearly financial support to this outstanding organization that truly makes a positive impact on our wounded veterans,” said Vice Commander Russell Fabian." |
He summed up by saying, “Whenever the public needs help, they call 911, but where do we go? This is our 911." |
“It’s not necessarily a tough sell” to get people to volunteer, Webber said. There are many people who want to help veterans and others who have served, and the opportunity to take them hiking, kayaking, and other adventures is an attractive proposition. |
