This organization must submit a proposal not exceeding 200 words by close of business on November 1, 2016 to events@nabvetsDE.org. Proposals must include contact information (letterhead), a description of the organization’s mission, overall commitment to local veterans, donation amount, and a reason(s) why the organization should be selected.
The lucky sponsor will gain satisfaction in knowing that 8 homeless veterans have:
- A warm and nourishing dinner;
- Appropriate attire and grooming for the event;
- Been given an opportunity to have their stories heard by community leaders; and
- The opportunity to make a positive change in their lifestyles.
All, made possible by your organization’s generous sponsorship of Lucky Table 13.
Administrative staff will conduct a preliminary review of all proposals received and eligible proposals shall be forwarded to the Chapter Command Council for final award. Council members will rate proposals based on; (1) most creative reason for selection – 40%, (2) dedication to local communities – 40%, and (3) how much can be accomplished with the donation amount – 20%. The winning sponsor will be notified by email. Two runner up organizations will also be selected in the event a winning bidder forfeits.

Mission
On an ongoing basis, the National Association for Black Veterans, Inc. will provide strategic advocacy on behalf of its membership with Congress, the Federal Administration, State Administrations and other agencies and organizations. NABVETS will provide personal advocacy on behalf of veterans seeking claims against the United States Department of Veterans Affairs; advocacy for youth in all matters required for successful passage into adulthood; advocacy on behalf of families; with community involvement, provide advocacy in creating positive lifestyles for veterans; and to generate and preserve the historical record.
Vision
“No matter where black veterans are or what they are doing, they recognize that they have a voice in NABVETS and, in that voice, an unyielding champion for justice; and that no matter what the issues or obstacles are, NABVETS will do all it can to protect their rights, promote their cause and restore their dignity; and, in so doing, empower those veterans to make a lasting and positive impact in their communities.”
