Hope for Growing a Family

We created our VIVA program to help wounded veterans who are struggling with infertility achieve their dream of growing their families. We connect our veterans to resources and, in many cases, provide financial support. 

VIVA provides resources and financial support to veterans for whom fertility treatments—such as IUI, IVF, egg, sperm and embryo donations or surrogacy—may not be covered through the VA or TRICARE, the military’s health benefits program.

We’ve Got Your Six

Our Got Your 6 Network is the largest non-governmental network of organizations dedicated to serving veterans in the country. From the beginning, BWF imagined a network of organizations, across the country, sharing resources and knowledge, helping address the issues veterans face—from hunger and housing to mental and physical health.

That’s what the Got Your 6 Network is today.

Named for the military phrase for “I’ve got your back”, today our Got Your 6 Network includes hundreds of partners in all 50 states, and in Puerto Rico, Guam, and American Samoa.
