It serves a market of 278,538 Veterans in Oklahoma (2024), including 18,500 Veterans earning below the poverty level, 304 homeless Veterans, and an underlying 126 Veteran suicide deaths recorded in 2022. The organization operates from a Tulsa headquarters (115 West 3rd Street, Suite 600) and a secondary Oklahoma City office (2000 N. Classen Blvd, Suite 100E).

The organization runs six core programs: (1) SSVF, a VA-funded rapid re-housing program for low-income Veterans and families who are homeless or facing imminent eviction; (2) SSG Fox SPGP, a VA-funded suicide prevention grant connecting at-risk Veterans to upstream tools, warm hand-offs to VA clinical staff, and individualized case management; (3) Veteran Employer Network, a peer learning network of 200+ members representing 100+ employers including AAON, Arvest Bank, BOK Financial, Cox Communications, Oklahoma State University, and Williams Companies; (4) Right Face, a partnership with the Oklahoma Department of Corrections to secure housing, employment, VA benefits, and education resources for incarcerated Veterans pending release; (5) Oklahoma Veterans Resource Network, a mobile-friendly, map-based directory of 9,000+ resources across all 77 counties; and (6) Operation Cool Down, which provides single room-sized A/C units to low-income Veterans. Additional partnerships include Eagle Ops for social connection opportunities.

Oklahoma Veterans United is funded through a mix of individual and corporate donations, corporate sponsorships (e.g., Top of The Town 2026, Annual Benefit Dinner 2026, 2026 Sponsorship Opportunities), and federal VA grants including SSVF and SSG Fox SPGP. The go-to-market motion is community-led, relying on direct outreach, case management, peer support, employer partnerships, and government agency coordination. The organization holds a 2026 Defender Service Awards Top 5 Finalist recognition from Land Rover, displays CARF accreditation, and maintains a Guidestar/Candid transparency seal. No revenue, headcount, or founding-year figures are publicly disclosed.
