The G.I. Go Fund
Where Veterans Go Forward
In order to fulfill this mission, our organization operates three distinct programs aimed at addressing the
needs of our returning military service members. Our employment program matches veterans with
perspective employers and identifies which veterans are qualified to secure employment and which will
require our assistance with further job training, education or career planning so that they can continue their
job search with better preparation and confidence.
For the homeless veteran population, we conduct outreach events which connect the homeless veterans
with housing options, career counseling, and addiction counseling, along with services from federal, state
and local agencies, non-profits, and health care provided by the Department of Veterans Affairs Healthcare
System. In addition, we work tirelessly to avoid homelessness by providing limited and direct financial
assistance to help veterans keep their homes.
Finally, through a partnership with Mayor Cory Booker, we have created a first in the nation City Hall
Veterans Center in Newark City Hall, providing us the opportunity to reach thousands of veterans with our
innovative approach to veterans’ services. The center has also given us the opportunity to build a powerful
network of partners who provide different services to veterans in a centralized location.

The Mission
Our Work
Financials
The G.I. Go Fund was founded in 2006 following the death Army Lt. Seth Dvorin, a close friend to the
organization’s co-founders, from wounds he suffered while attempting to dismantle an IED in Iraq. The
organization began as a small community group, which aimed to preserve the memory of our friend through
providing days of rest and relaxation to our nation’s veterans. However, as we began to spend time with
these men and women, we began to understand that their problems and fears did not end the minute they
returned home, but instead had just begun.
As we came to understand the magnitude of the problems that plagued the veterans’ world, we began to
expand our efforts, working with veterans to help them collect their VA benefits, providing financial
assistance to low income and homeless veterans, and assisting in their search for steady employment and the
college of their choice. Since then, we have reached tens of thousands of veterans throughout New Jersey
and across the country receive the assistance they need, and we look forward to our future of helping all
American veterans in their struggle to return home with honor.
