Ncw Veterans Info

What Ncw Veterans Info does

NCW Veterans Info is a nonprofit online directory and community resource hub serving veterans, active-duty service members, and their families in North Central Washington. Founded in 2016 by Connie Hill, a former Vet Corps Navigator at Wenatchee Valley College, the platform consolidates information about healthcare providers, service organizations, employment resources, education and GI Bill assistance, housing (both temporary and permanent), food banks, transportation, clothing and household services, and veteran-specific discounts across Chelan, Douglas, Grant, and Okanogan counties. The website (ncwveterans.info) features a searchable Resource Directory, an Events Calendar, a Discounts page, a News/Blog section, and a Contact/Support form, and underwent a major redesign in October 2020 to add improved search, mapping, and mobile usability. A companion publication, the Vets Gazette newsletter, was introduced in early 2019 and is distributed digitally to subscribers and partner Posts.

The organization's business model is donation-based rather than commercial. All resources on the site are free to access for users, and the platform is sustained by charitable contributions collected primarily through the Ko-fi platform and by financial support from regional partners including Vets Serving Vets (The Bunker), Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 3617, American Legion Post 10, VFW Post 6853 (Chelan), American Legion Post 108 (Manson), VFW Post 24 (Grant County), and VFW WA District 7. Annual website operating costs are reported at approximately $300-$400, with all operational, editorial, and marketing work performed on an unpaid basis by the founder. The go-to-market approach is community-led: the site relies on word-of-mouth referrals, social sharing, the Vets Gazette email newsletter, and partnerships with local veteran service organizations for distribution rather than paid acquisition.
