The Mission Continues was founded in 2007 with funding provided by the combat pay of CEO Eric Greitens and the donated disability checks from two wounded service members who believed in the organization's mission. Five years and over 450 Fellows later, The Mission Continues remains focused on challenging veterans across the nation to rebuild purpose through community service.

We are unabashedly grateful for the incredible support of other veterans, civilians, military families, corporations, and philanthropic foundations that make our programs a reality. Thank you - from the $3.00 donations to the giving campaigns of Target and Goldman Sachs, you are the reason our mission continues every day.

The following supporters have provided The Mission Continues funds at or above a single $10,000 gift over the past two calendar years.
