Why Sponsor

Not charity. A bottom-up economic ecosystem.

Wounded Warrior raises $450M+ a year with unclear results. We do it differently — local money, local impact, visible outcomes. Your sponsorship fuels both the directory and the mission.

🎯

Real marketing ROI

VetPerks.app reaches local veterans actively looking for businesses that honor their service. Your featured listing puts you in front of the most loyal consumer segment in America — before they spend elsewhere.

🏘️

Money stays local

Sponsor dollars circulate through local businesses that serve veterans. That economic activity funds Paths for Heroes — which puts those resources back into housing and food security for veterans in the same community.

🛡️

Transparent impact, every dollar

Every founding sponsor (first 10) gets 30 days of completely free advertising. And unlike the big nonprofits, you can see exactly where your sponsorship goes: into a local veteran ecosystem, not an executive's salary.

Paving pathways — one sponsor at a time

VetPerks.app is the revenue engine of Paths for Heroes. Sponsorships, ad packages, and merchant services fund the platform — and as the platform grows, Paths for Heroes tackles homelessness and food insecurity with real programs, not press releases.

When a veteran searches for a restaurant, auto shop, or service provider — your business shows up first if you're a sponsor. And your support tells that veteran: this business backs the mission that keeps people like me housed and fed. That's brand loyalty money can't buy.

Frequently Asked

Everything you need to know

What do I actually get from sponsoring?
Your business gets a featured listing in the VetPerks.app veteran discount directory, a military rank badge displayed on your listing, and placement in the sponsor showcase section that appears on every page of the site. Founding sponsors also get 30 days of free advertising starting from their registration date.
Who sees my listing?
Veterans and military families in the Tucson area who use the VetPerks.app platform to find local businesses with veteran discounts. These are engaged, local customers actively looking to spend money at businesses that support them.
How does the "30 days free advertising" work?
The first 10 sponsors at any tier get their listing featured with priority placement for 30 days at no extra charge. That means you appear at the top of search results, in the homepage sponsor spotlight section, and in the sponsor strip on every directory page — all included with your one-time sponsorship fee.
Is this a recurring charge?
No. All tiers are a one-time payment. Your badge and directory listing are permanent. No subscriptions, no auto-renewals, no surprise charges.
What happens right after I pay?
You're taken to a short confirmation form where you enter your business name, logo URL, and website. That information is used to create your live listing and badge. The whole process takes under 5 minutes and your business goes live immediately.
Do I need to already have a discount for veterans?
Not to sponsor, no. Sponsoring puts your business in front of the community with a "Supporting Business" badge. If you'd like to add a specific discount offer to your listing, you can include it when you register after payment.
What is Paths for Heroes and how is it different from Wounded Warrior?
Paths for Heroes is the mission arm of this ecosystem — funded by VetPerks.app revenue, not donation drives. Wounded Warrior Project raises $450M+ per year; the impact per dollar is murky and much of it goes to overhead and marketing. Paths for Heroes is being built bottom-up: sponsor dollars stay local, create a veteran-serving economic ecosystem, and fund visible programs tackling homelessness and food insecurity. Founded by a 100% service-connected veteran who's seen the gap firsthand.

Back the mission.
Pave the path.

Your sponsorship does double duty — real marketing value in front of a loyal veteran community, and real funding for the Paths for Heroes mission to end veteran homelessness and food insecurity. Not charity. An ecosystem. Starting from $25.
