At the beginning of 2026, more than 1,300 JE Dunn employees voted to select the focus area for our annual Cornerstone Campaign, choosing healthcare and mental health access for veterans as this year’s cause. The Cornerstone Campaign dedicates $1.5M+ annually in charitable donations (on top of our existing giving) to make a strategic and intentional impact in that focus area. Following extensive research, nonprofit recommendations from employees and Community Ambassadors, and a national committee review process, the first 2026 Cornerstone grants have been awarded.
The inaugural round of grants supports eight organizations in the East and South Central Regions that are expanding access to mental health care, rehabilitation services, and other critical resources for veterans and military families. Selected nonprofits include the Shepherd Center’s SHARE Military Initiative, Veterans Bridge Home, Women Veterans Support Services, and GallantFew, among others. Each organization was chosen through a rigorous vetting and proposal review process focused on identifying high-impact solutions that help veterans access the care and support they need. Learn more about these organizations here.
Additional regional grant recipients will be announced throughout the year, so stay tuned for upcoming grant deliveries, nonprofit spotlights, and opportunities to learn more about the impact JE Dunn is making.
