The Desert Veterans of Wisconsin is committed to supporting local organizations, veterans, and current serving members of the U.S. Armed Forces. Much of our funding comes from individuals and corporate donors, but the majority is raised by our members who volunteer at fundraising events throughout the year.

In order to be accountable to all of our members, supporters, and donors, a donations committee reviews all financial assistance requests before being presented to our members for discussion. All requests are voted on at a regular membership meeting held on the last Wednesday of each month.

Requests must be received at least one week prior to be considered for that month.

To apply for assistance, you must have an honorable discharge or be currently serving in the Armed Forces. You must include a copy of your DD214, NGB-22, or current Military ID Card with the request (blackout SSN). No exceptions.
