Beyond the Uniform
Driving Change for Women Veterans
At the Women Veterans Interactive Foundation (WVIF), we believe that when a Woman Veteran rises, we all rise. Women Veterans bring strength, resilience, and leadership to every space they enter, yet they often face challenges that are too often unseen, unmet, and underserved. That’s why WVIF exists: to create a national ecosystem of allies that recognize and serve the dynamic experience of today’s Woman Veteran.

About Us
How it All Began
After a medical discharge from the Navy, our founder, Ginger Miller, faced a battle she never expected. Her family slipped into homelessness, and she learned quickly that support for Women Veterans was nearly impossible to find. There was no hotline, no emergency fund, no safety net made with Women Veterans in mind. So she became one. What started as helping homeless veterans in her community grew into a mission centered on women veterans who were falling through every crack. That commitment became the Women Veterans Interactive Foundation, a national 501(c)(3) that connects, engages, and empowers Women Veterans across the country.
Real-World Situation
The State of Women Veterans in the U.S.
Currently, there are over 2 million Women Veterans in the United States. They are the fastest-growing group of Veterans, and they are struggling with unparalleled and unprecedented challenges every day.
Vast amounts of research document the unique challenges that Women Veterans face. In many cases, Women Veterans encounter challenges at a higher rate than male Veterans or than nonveteran women. Learn about these challenges here, or read more about it in our blog.
Women Veterans are the fastest-growing group of homeless Veterans. They are 2x more likely than civilian women to experience homelessness.
Women Veterans are more likely than male Veterans to be homeless with children.
25% of Women Veterans report experiencing Military Sexual Trauma (MST).
25% of Women Veterans have been diagnosed with depression.
20% of Women Veterans have experienced PTSD.
