Supporting Veterans: Charitable Giving Through the Walser Foundation

The Walser Foundation has a long history of supporting veteran organizations that align with our mission of promoting education and workforce development. We honor veterans’ sacrifices by funding organizations that offer essential services and opportunities, aiming to make a meaningful impact on their lives and families through various grants and sponsorships.

2024

Walser’s 2024 Shop For a Cause sales event put veteran support at the forefront. Partner organizations in 2024 included 23 Veteran and Home Base Wichita.

How it Works

Shop For a Cause puts giving in the hands of our customers. Each June, the purchase of any new or used vehicle at Walser earns a $25 donation to one of our partner organizations. Customers choose the nonprofit that speaks to their interests and passions.
This year, Shop For a Cause raised $87,800 for our partner organizations, with $32,200 supporting military-connected organizations.

23rd Veteran

23rd Veteran, based in Duluth, Minnesota, focuses on easing the transition from military to civilian life, providing veterans with the support and community they need to thrive.

Home Base Wichita

Home Base Wichita, based in Wichita, KS, empowers military-connected individuals with the tools and support to successfully transition into civilian careers.

Folds of Honor

The Walser Foundation proudly supported Folds of Honor in 2024. This organization provides educational scholarships to the spouses and children of America’s fallen and disabled service members. Learn more about their scholarship opportunities here.
