Our Partner Network

Organizations serving different parts of veteran life.

Advice for Veterans connects readers with independent organizations, nonprofits, healthcare providers, educational resources, and businesses offering veteran-focused services.

Every partner remains responsible for its own services, eligibility rules, claims, pricing, licensing, and outcomes. AFV's role is to introduce useful resources and make the relationship clear.

Partner & sponsorship disclosure

Some organizations featured on Advice for Veterans may have a sponsorship, advertising, referral, marketing, or other commercial relationship with AFV or an affiliated business. Inclusion on this page is not an endorsement by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, the Department of Defense, or any government agency. A partner relationship also does not mean AFV guarantees a provider's services or a user's eligibility, approval, savings, health outcome, financial result, or VA benefits outcome.

How Partnerships Work

Useful introductions, with the relationship made clear.

AFV can introduce readers to outside resources, but the outside organization remains responsible for the service it provides. We aim to keep the boundary between AFV, the partner, and government agencies visible.

01

We identify the provider

Partner pages and links should make it clear which organization actually provides the service, program, medical care, education, or lending product.

02

We disclose sponsored relationships

When AFV receives sponsorship, referral, advertising, or other material consideration, we aim to label that relationship where users can see it.

03

We don't imply VA endorsement

Private partners are not presented as the Department of Veterans Affairs, and inclusion on AFV does not mean VA or another government agency endorses them.

04

Partners control their own terms

Eligibility, pricing, licensing, availability, medical decisions, lending decisions, program rules, and service outcomes come from the provider—not AFV.

05

Official resources still matter

When a government determination or VA claim-specific representation is required, AFV directs visitors back to VA.gov or a VA-accredited representative.

06

You remain free to compare options

A featured partner is one resource, not the only resource. Visitors should compare providers and use the option that fits their needs.
