Bozeman, MT — Decemberer 30, 2024

The COMMIT Foundation is proud to close out 2024 with a year of tremendous impact, innovation, and growth. Guided by its new mission statement—to provide high-touch transition support that becomes the nationwide standard so those who have served in all communities can identify their passions, build strong networks, and leverage their skills in civilian careers—The COMMIT Foundation is poised to continue its vital work in 2025.

Key Achievements in 2024

Empowering Veterans and Families:

In 2024, the COMMIT Foundation was fortunate enough to serve more than 5,000 service members, veterans, and family members through more than 17,000 services since its inception.

Services include providing personalized transition support that aligns with their unique needs and aspirations. The organization hosted eight workshops nationwide, connecting with veterans and communities from coast to coast, linking amazing people together, and setting the conditions for success in the future.

This year also marked a significant milestone with the first-ever spouse workshop, designed to support military spouses navigating their transitions alongside their service members. Plans are already underway for two additional spouse workshops in 2025.

Expanding Reach Globally and Strategically:

In 2024, the COMMIT Foundation expanded its services to veterans and families from Five Eyes allied nations—the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada. Additionally, the organization deepened its engagement with the intelligence community, providing tailored transition support to those with unique needs. The expansion formalized an already strong relationship on and off the battlefield.

Usage of COMMunITy Platform:

This year, The COMMIT Foundation launched COMMunITy, an exclusive online space for COMMIT fellows to connect, share insights, and collaborate. The platform has quickly become a vital hub for networking and peer-to-peer support, fostering meaningful relationships among those navigating life after military service. This platform will continue to grow and become a hub for the future of our Fellows.

Leadership and Team Growth

Welcoming New Leadership:

The COMMIT Foundation welcomed JC Glick as its new CEO in 2024. Under his visionary leadership, the organization expanded its programs and partnerships, strengthening its commitment to serving those who have served. Additionally, Jennifer Zucker joined the Board of Directors, bringing extensive expertise and a shared passion for veteran support.

Expanding the Team:

The organization also grew its dedicated team in 2024, bringing on talented individuals who share a deep commitment to serving veterans and their families. These new team members bring diverse expertise and fresh perspectives, strengthening our ability to deliver high-touch, personalized support. Their contributions have been instrumental in meeting the evolving needs of our Fellows and ensuring that The COMMIT Foundation remains at the forefront of empowering those who have served. This expansion reflects our unwavering commitment to building a team equipped to address the unique challenges and opportunities of military transition.

Community and Collaboration

The COMMIT Foundation hosted several impactful events in 2024, including the Nobody Walks Alone 5K, which brought together veterans, families, and supporters to celebrate connection and resilience. The year also saw the launch of the Battle of the Branches campaign during the Army-Navy football game season, uniting veterans and supporters in a spirited celebration of camaraderie and service.

We are thrilled about the partnerships we’ve built this year. Collaborating with mission-aligned organizations has been vital to our success, enabling us to expand our reach and deepen our impact. These partnerships energize our mission and reaffirm our commitment to empowering those who have served.

Looking Ahead to 2025

As The COMMIT Foundation enters 2025, it remains steadfast in its mission and excited for the opportunities ahead, including:

• Expanding the Pursue Your Purpose Program to reach more veterans and families.

• Hosting two additional spouse workshops to address the unique needs of military spouses.

• Strengthening the COMMunITy platform to foster even more connection and collaboration.

• Deepening global partnerships with Five Eyes nations and the intelligence community.

“With the momentum from 2024, we are ready to take on 2025 with hope, determination, and gratitude,” said JC Glick, CEO of The COMMIT Foundation. “Together with our supporters, we will continue transforming lives, building strong networks, and creating a legacy of service and resilience.”
