Compounding the Good – United Relief Foundation’s engagement with a Native American Medicine Wheel garden constructed by 22 VA Founder and Veteran artist M.t. Ragan is how our Holistic-Horticultural Healing for Heroes can compound the good we do for all Veterans.
Boots on the Ground – We are receptive to utilizing our network for self-supporting Standing Tall Boots on the Ground projects connected to but independent of United Relief Foundation’s funding and administration that can compound the good done.

Every Standing Tall donation is equally important and we're hopeful showing examples might help spark other fundraising ideas.
