Mission First — as a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, V3Gate (and its foundation) prioritize serving veterans, supporting public-sector missions, and giving back to communities through nonprofit support, mentorship, and local charitable activities.
V3gate Foundation’s largest recent grants have gone to survivor-assistance organizations that serve military families and others affected by loss. The clearest pattern is a cluster of support for Tragedy Assistance Program for Surv, which received $55,000 in 2023 and $50,000 in 2024, alongside similar donations to Operation First Response in 2024 and 2025. Those gifts fit the foundation’s stated emphasis on veterans, public-sector missions, and community support. Recent grants also show a practical, service-oriented approach rather than a single-program strategy. The foundation has backed organizations that provide direct support, peer connection, and community-based help, including Tunnel to Towers Foundation, Songwriting With Soldiers, and Operator Relief Fund. The grant list suggests a mix of survivor assistance, veteran services, and local charitable activity, with recipients spread across Virginia, New York, Tennessee, Colorado, and Arkansas. V3gate Foundation operates as a public charity and gives at a regional scale. Its recent activity includes repeat support for some recipients across multiple years, which points to ongoing relationships rather than isolated awards. The foundation’s public profile aligns with service-disabled veteran-owned business roots and a philanthropic style centered on nonprofit support, mentorship, and direct giving to service providers.
Survivor assistance is the most visible theme in the recent grant list. The foundation gave $55,000 in 2023 and $50,000 in 2024 to Tragedy Assistance Program for Surv for survivor assistance, then added $25,000 in 2023 to Tunnel to Towers Foundation for the same general purpose. Veteran-facing direct service organizations also appear repeatedly. V3gate Foundation awarded $30,000 in 2024 and another $30,000 in 2025 to Operation First Response, both listed as donations, and gave $8,000 in 2025 to Operator Relief Fund. The portfolio also includes community and wellness-oriented support. Comeback Yoga received $20,000 in 2025, while Songwriting With Soldiers received $28,028 in 2024. In Colorado, the foundation supported Vail Veterans Foundation with $15,000 in 2024 and Catholic Charities of Central with $6,180 in 2025, plus a $6,000 gala gift in 2024.
V3gate Foundation’s typical grant size centers in the mid-range: the 25th percentile is $20,000, the median is $28,028, and the 75th percentile is $40,000. Recent awards include both larger survivor-assistance gifts and smaller community donations, but most sit within that band. The record shows repeat giving rather than one-time-only support. Tragedy Assistance Program for Surv and Operation First Response each received funding in more than one year, and Catholic Charities of Central appears twice in 2024 and 2025. The foundation is a public charity, not a private family foundation, and it does not fund individuals. No unsolicited application process is stated in the provided data.
