A Heartfelt Thank You to Our Veterans
On these days prior to and on Veterans Day, we pause to honor you; not with words alone, but with the deepest gratitude for your unwavering service, sacrifice, and the quiet strength that still shapes our world. From battlefields to boardrooms, your legacy of courage inspires every mission we support at GrantWatch. To the veterans leading nonprofits, innovating in businesses, and lifting communities: Thank you for defending not just our freedom, but the very spirit of resilience that pulls us through shutdowns and storms. We see you, we salute you, and we’re here to fuel your next chapter. – With profound respect, Libby Hikind, Founder, GrantWatch

We feel your pain deeply. As Veterans Day approaches, nonprofits feeding families, businesses pushing through innovation, and veteran-serving organizations honoring those who’ve served are all stretched thin. Federal grants on hold mean programs pause, teams downsize, and missions, such as community health initiatives or veteran support services, face real uncertainty.

But the honest truth is, there are still over 8,500 grants, RFPs, and opportunities from corporations, foundations, local governments, and state programs that aren’t tied to Washington. These steady streams can bridge the gap, and GrantWatch is here to make them accessible without the endless hunt.”In these trying times of shutdown and uncertainty, my heart aches for the businesses, nonprofits, and the countless souls they serve, all feeling the sting of delayed dreams and stretched resources. At GrantWatch, we’re not just listing grants, we’re extending a hand, one rebate and one opportunity at a time, because helping you help others is what keeps us all going. Let’s turn this hurt into hope, together.” – Libby Hikind, Founder, GrantWatch
