MILITARY FAMILY ADVISORY NETWORK

MFAN is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to building a community of military and veteran families, at home and abroad, who are well informed about important resources designed to serve them, equipped with tools for success, connected to leaders who serve the military family community, and embraced by the general public. We translate the needs of military and veteran families in a way that service providers can understand and facilitate services that speak coherently to our families. We convene leaders and influencers within the military family community who, through collaboration with outside organizations and effective communications, elevate and amplify the voice of military and veteran families everywhere.

To be most effective at serving military families, we need to explore their lives and their needs. The best way to do that is through research. Through qualitative and quantitative research, we have created two social learning programs, one for wellness, and one for financial education, and an online, interactive, user-generated map to help military and veteran families understand their local landscape.

MFAN’s work is critical in supporting all military and veteran families today and those who will follow tomorrow. Without this research, we would miss the opportunity to truly understand the needs of those who serve our country and their families, something that our military families and entire country cannot afford.
