The Sixth Annual Award Consideration Starts Today Until June 1 in U.S. and U.K.
The Call of Duty Endowment today begins its application process for the sixth annual “Seal of Distinction” Awards, recognizing U.S. and U.K. based non-profits that demonstrate the highest levels of effectiveness, efficiency, and integrity in placing veterans into high-quality jobs.
The prestigious award for grantees is accompanied by a $30,000 unrestricted grant, as well as the opportunity to apply for future funding. Past beneficiaries include: Goodwill Southern California, Goodwill of the Olympics and Rainer Region, NextOp, RFEA, and Walking With the Wounded.
To be considered, organizations must complete an online application at: www.callofdutyendowment.org/seal
Applications will be accepted now through June 1, 2018. Nominees for the “Seal of Distinction” must meet a number of criteria, including:
The “Seal of Distinction” is the preeminent standard of excellence in the veteran’s employment sector. In the last year alone, organizations supported by the Endowment placed 11,974 veterans in jobs at an average cost-per-placement of $504.
“We are honored to continue the ‘Seal of Distinction’ program into its sixth year,” said Dan Goldenberg, Executive Director of the Call of Duty Endowment. “We’ve seen a growing demand from veterans for help securing high quality careers—a 60% increase last year alone—and we’re committed to finding and funding the highest performing non-profits that successfully address this challenge in both the U.S. and U.K.”
All applications will be reviewed and evaluated by the Call of Duty Endowment’s outside Board of Advisors. Semi-finalists will be independently assessed on a pro bono basis by Deloitte and ultimately approved by the Endowment’s Grants Committee.
The Call of Duty Endowment launched the "Seal of Distinction" in August 2013. In its sixth year of operation, the program has awarded $27.6 million in grants. With an ambitious goal of placing 50,000 veterans into high-quality jobs by 2019, the program has placed more than 46,000 veterans into full-time jobs with an average 2017 starting salary of $58,000. As a result, the Endowment has helped veterans capture more than $2.3 billion in first year salaries and demonstrated the value of veterans in the civilian workplace to companies across the U.S. and the U.K.
