After Action Network, Inc. Information

After Action Network is a Kansas City based Veteran Service Organization. We connect communities and veterans as well as innovate and align partnerships with organizations to create opportunities for veterans including skills development, job opportunities, and social connections. Our database is a national repository of 2.3 million resources across the United States, searchable by zip code. This could not have been achieved without the generous help of our partner Aunt Bertha. With this tool we have created our Veteran Navigator Network to connect VSOs around the Greater Kansas City to assist and are currently building out this network across the United States to enhance transparency, connection, and efficacy of all VSOs. We establish programming ranging from yoga, meditation, and Qi Gong classes to dance movement therapy, sculpture, and paint classes. These programs give veterans an opportunity to explore and engage with themselves and community members for self-development and learning. Every nonprofit runs into the issue of sustainability; a strain on funding is painful, it causes stress, and it also causes drag on programming and resources they offer. We are taking a new innovative route by creating the B1V1 Fund which leverages net operating income through our partnership product lines. As the fund resources grow, they are allocated back to supporting programs, VSOs, the Navigator Network, partnerships, as well as a Veteran Business Owned investment portfolio.
