The Ruby & Stanford Giving Foundation is a Florida-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to honoring and supporting U.S. military veterans and their families. Our mission is to ensure that those who served our country are never forgotten, by funding programs that provide dignity, respect, and support to veterans—particularly those who are indigent, homeless, or without family.
Founded on the belief that every veteran deserves care in life and honor in death, the Ruby & Stanford Giving Foundation partners with community organizations, businesses, and civic groups to generate resources and awareness for veterans’ welfare. A central focus of our work is supporting Veterans Last Call, an organization that provides dignified care, memorial services, and final arrangements for indigent veterans’ remains—ensuring that every service member receives proper recognition for their sacrifice.
In addition to this partnership, the Foundation organizes local fundraising events, community outreach campaigns, and charitable initiatives that foster unity and civic engagement around the cause of veteran support. Our signature annual event—the “Aim for Impact” Veterans Charity Sporting Clays Fun Shoot—brings together businesses, local leaders, and supporters across South Florida to raise funds for veteran-focused initiatives. The event also serves as a platform to connect veterans with supportive resources and community networks.
Our Goals Include:
Providing direct financial and material support to organizations serving veterans in need.
Raising awareness about the ongoing challenges faced by veterans, especially those without family or financial means.
Promoting community engagement through charitable events and volunteerism.
Ensuring that every veteran, regardless of circumstance, is honored with dignity and remembrance.
Building partnerships that expand access to mental health, housing, and memorial resources for veterans.
Key Programs and Activities:
Veteran Remembrance & Dignity Program – Supports organizations like Veterans Last Call to provide funeral, burial, and memorial services for unclaimed or indigent veterans.
Community Fundraising Events – Hosts annual and seasonal charity events, such as the Aim for Impact Sporting Clays Fun Shoot, which raise funds and foster community involvement.
Veteran Outreach Partnerships – Collaborates with veteran advocacy groups, local agencies, and businesses to improve outreach and access to essential services.
Education & Awareness Initiatives – Promotes understanding of veteran challenges through community forums, educational campaigns, and social media outreach.
Impact Statement:
Since its founding, the Ruby & Stanford Giving Foundation has focused on restoring dignity and honor to veterans who may otherwise go unnoticed. Through fundraising, awareness, and collaboration, we help bridge the gap between community goodwill and the real needs of those who served. Our efforts not only raise funds but also foster compassion, respect, and civic responsibility among participants and partners alike.
How Donations Are Used:
Every dollar donated goes directly toward supporting veteran-focused initiatives, including:
Funeral and memorial costs for unclaimed veterans.
Direct assistance to veteran support organizations.
Event logistics and community programs that raise awareness and build engagement.
Educational materials and outreach campaigns to strengthen community impact.
Why Our Mission Matters:
While much attention is given to veterans during service or at the point of injury, too many face invisibility in their later years—especially those who pass away alone or without means. The Ruby & Stanford Giving Foundation exists to change that reality. By ensuring that no veteran is forgotten, we reaffirm our collective responsibility to those who defended our freedom.
Community Involvement:
Our events invite local businesses, first responders, and residents to participate in meaningful action. Whether through sponsorships, volunteering, or participation, community members experience firsthand the difference that collective compassion can make. The Aim for Impact event, for example, not only raises funds but creates a powerful sense of connection between citizens and the veteran community.
Commitment to Transparency:
As a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, the Ruby & Stanford Giving Foundation is committed to financial transparency and accountability. We maintain clear reporting of expenditures, partnerships, and donations to ensure that every contribution directly supports veteran welfare and remembrance.
Looking Ahead:
Our long-term vision is to expand veteran-focused programming throughout Florida and beyond, creating a sustainable model for community-driven veteran remembrance and support. By continuing to partner with compassionate organizations like Veterans Last Call, we aim to inspire others to honor those who served—not only in words, but through enduring action.
