ALPHARETTA, Ga.<\/strong> \u2014 <\/span>Hire Heroes USA, a national nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering U.S. service members, veterans and military spouses to succeed in the civilian workforce, is proud to announce it has received a $900,000 grant from the Scripps Family Impact Fund. This generous investment will support the organization\u2019s Partnered Career Transition (PaCT) program, helping scale free, personalized employment services for thousands of veterans and military spouses nationwide.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Scripps Family Impact Fund, established as a partnership between the 4th and 5th generations of the Scripps family, is rooted in a legacy of media and philanthropy. Each year, the fund selects a new focus area aimed at driving meaningful, long-term change. In 2025, its focus is on veteran services, with Hire Heroes USA selected as one of three veteran-serving organizations to receive funding following a competitive vetting process.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are truly grateful to the Scripps Family Impact Fund for recognizing the value of our mission and investing in the future of veterans and military spouses,\u201d said Ross Dickman, CEO of Hire Heroes USA. \u201cThis contribution expands our ability to deliver life-changing, personalized support as our clients take the next step toward meaningful employment.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The PaCT program streamlines the employment journey by aligning military talent with hiring partners based on real-time workforce needs. It also provides veterans and military spouses with tailored support to navigate the job market and secure meaningful employment.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Scripps family, which includes veterans from World War II to Afghanistan, understands the critical importance of taking care of the veterans who have sacrificed so much for our country,\u201d said Alex Bakkum, the family\u2019s Chief Philanthropy Officer. \u201cIt was difficult selecting just three nonprofits to receive grants from a crowded field of great organizations this year, but it was easy to embrace the mission of Hire Heroes USA. Their outstanding work touched our family funders, and we\u2019re eager to see terrific work from them for many years to come.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With over 110,000 confirmed hires among the veterans and military spouses Hire Heroes USA has served, this grant plays a vital role in advancing its mission to ensure no one has to navigate the civilian workforce alone.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
