Honor, Anticipation & Preparation

“Now more than ever, we are reaffirming our unwavering support for those touched by military service by ensuring we have the resources to fulfill our commitments.”

 – Eileen Greenlay, Director of Development 

Amid recent U.S. strikes in Iran and rising regional unrest, Dixon Center for Military and Veterans Services (the Center) is reaffirming our unwavering support for those touched by military service. Our U.S. service members are dedicated individuals who display remarkable courage and professionalism every day, and their families shoulder the ongoing challenges of uncertainty and concern for their loved ones. Our nation’s veterans, too, are affected by these events, as news of military action often rekindles memories and emotions from their own service. We honor these experiences and sacrifices with deep respect. 

At the heart of our mission is building capacity that is empowering organizations, individuals, communities, and systems to integrate and support both veterans and their families. As the situation evolves, our team is actively monitoring developments and continuing to anticipate evolving needs for those affected by recent hostilities in the Middle East. 

Our leadership and development team are intensifying efforts to ensure we have the resources needed to fulfill our commitments. 

Our momentum continues – 2025 saw a 39% growth in revenue and a 22% increase in donors, fueling the launch of our 2026 strategic priorities. This spring, our Development Team distributed our 2025 Chair’s Report, secured 82% of 2026 revenue goals, held ten in-person meetings with potential and current donors, closed four grant renewals and submitted five new proposals to Corporations and  Foundations. 

We remain diligent, focused, and eager to identify new opportunities and strengthen our support for the military community.
