As many states and communities prepare for Veterans Suicide Awareness and Prevention Day on Sept. 22, Face the Fight (FTF) is announcing a new round of nonprofit grant recipients. These grants will support initiatives focused on preventing veteran suicide and breaking the stigma around seeking help within the military community.

Face the Fight launched in 2023 and now has 175 coalition members and $85M committed to reduce veteran suicide. Learn more about what we did in our 2023 Progress Report.

Face the Fight™ has released its first annual impact report demonstrating the effect that organizations and nonprofits together can have on saving veteran lives through suicide prevention efforts.

Celebrity Chef Rush has made it his mission and partnered with USAA and the Face the Fight Campaign to educate, provide resources and inform the world about veterans’ struggles.

Finally, something is being heard. Someone shares your voice. Something is finally being done–not just for me but for other veterans and their kids.

An initial $2.5M grant from USAA funds training of 200 mental health clinicians, screening over 7,000 people for suicide risk, and delivering suicide-specific interventions to over 1,600 veterans.

We recognize that one company can’t enter the arena of suicide prevention and expect to turn the tide single-handedly,” — USAA’s assistant vice president of corporate responsibility.

UT Health San Antonio is providing experts trained in military and veteran mental health to help USAA launch Face the Fight.

There’s this opportunity for organizations like USAA, and other business leaders need to change the culture around suicide and talk about it.
