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.

Women Veterans Deserve More

An Ecosystem of Support

WVIF provides an integrated ecosystem of trauma-informed, women-centered programs designed to meet the full spectrum of Women Veterans’ needs: physical, mental, emotional, and financial. With a multidimensional approach, we combine direct outreach, dynamic programs, and ongoing research to create real solutions for real lives.

Our Approach: 3 Pillars of Impact

Safety

Transition

To educate, equip, and empower toward post-military success.

Comprehensive Research

To gain a full-spectrum picture of Women Veterans' experiences, and develop valuable solutions and services.

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.

Women Veterans are 1.8x more likely than civilian women to commit suicide. For free, confidential help: Dial 988 and Press 1.

The Heart of Our Work

Operation Safety Net

Operation Safety Net (OSN) is the program Ginger wishes had existed when she was homeless. It remains the heartbeat of WVIF. OSN’s support ensures safety in times of crisis, warmth in times of cold, and hope in times of despair. OSN provides immediate support for urgent needs, including:

Get Help

You are not alone.
You are not a burden.
Reaching out is strength, not shame.
If you are a Woman Veteran in crisis and you need support, WVIF is here for you. WVIF understands the fear, the pride, the pain, and the pressure. WVIF also knows what it feels like to rise again. If you need help, reach out. WVIF will answer. We will stand with you the whole way.

Give Help

Your support keeps a mother and her child housed. It keeps the lights on, food on the table, and hope within reach. We rely on generosity from people like you to power Operation Safety Net so that we can empower Women Veterans in times of great need. Your support reminds a Woman Veteran that her service still matters and she does not have to fight her battles alone. If you want to help, WVIF invites you to act boldly. Together, we save lives.
