FY26–FY28 Roadmap to Impact, Growth, and Sustainability
Dixon Center for Military and Veterans Services (the Center) began the year by finalizing our three-year business plan and priorities focusing on enhancing the wellbeing of veterans and their families through our work with organizations, donors and communities nationwide.
Supported by The Fedcap Group, the Center aims to close critical gaps in veteran support through collaboration, resource sharing, and innovation. Key priorities for FY26–FY28 include strengthening governance, securing sustainable funding, and expanding outreach through new marketing strategies.
A core element of the Center’s approach is measurable impact – tracking progress, keeping stakeholders informed, and improving programs. Our partnership with Fedcap highlights ongoing capacity building and systems change.
The Center continues to serve as a top resource for veteran and military family community integration. With strong leadership and a vision for independence, we encourage advocates, donors, and leaders to join our mission and help broaden our reach and impact.
