FAQs — American Vet Project

Question 1

What is American Vet Project?

Accepted Answer

American Vet Project (AVP) is a resource hub built for Veterans, Active Duty service members, and First Responders — helping them find the services and support they may need. The golf community is a natural fit for this mission. Golfers across the country already have a deep appreciation for those who serve, making the golf course an ideal place to introduce these resources to the people who need them most.

Question 2

Why was the American Vet Project created?

Accepted Answer

Because too many Veterans, Active Duty service members, and First Responders are dying by suicide. Approximately 18 to 22 every single day. People were talking about it, shaking their heads, saying 'I wish someone would do something.' And then it hit us: we are someone. AVP was created because waiting for someone else to act was not an option. We built it to connect those who served with the resources and community they need before it is too late.

Question 3

Why is the golf community involved with the American Vet Project?

Accepted Answer

Because golfers already get it. The golf community has a long tradition of respecting and supporting Veterans, Active Duty service members, and First Responders. Walk into almost any golf course in America and you will find people who care deeply about those who served. That shared value makes the golf course one of the most natural places in the world to have these conversations and make these connections. AVP did not have to convince golfers to care. We just gave them a way to do something about it.

Question 4

What kinds of support resources are available?

Accepted Answer

Our Benefits, Support & Services directory includes VA benefits guidance, mental health resources, housing assistance, employment programs, legal aid, and family support services. Resources are organized by category and submitted by community members and trusted organizations.

Question 5

How can I submit a resource or organization to the directory?

Accepted Answer

You can submit a resource by visiting the Benefits, Support & Services page and clicking the "Submit a Resource" tab. From there, choose the type of submission — a veteran resource, golf course, or sponsor — and fill out the short form. All submissions are reviewed before going live, and we appreciate every contribution that helps strengthen our community.

Question 6

Is there a cost for anyone?

Accepted Answer

No. The American Vet Project is completely free for Veterans, Active Duty service members, First Responders, and their families. It is also free for golfers who want to get involved, and there are no fees for golf courses that choose to participate as partners. Our mission is to connect people and remove barriers, not create new ones.

Question 7

Who can join the community?

Accepted Answer

Our community is open to veterans, active duty military, National Guard, Reservists, first responders, and their immediate family members. Civilian golfers who want to support the mission are also welcome to get involved as volunteers or sponsors.

Question 9

What are Tee Time Perks?

Accepted Answer

Tee Time Perks is our program that connects golfers with Veterans, Active Duty service members, and First Responders on the course. Partner golf courses offer discounted or complimentary tee times as a way of bringing the community together. It is a simple and meaningful way for golfers to show their appreciation while creating real connections with the people who served.

Question 10

How can a golf course become a partner?

Accepted Answer

Golf courses that want to support veterans can apply through our Golf Course Partners page. We'll work with you to set up a veteran discount or complimentary tee time program that fits your course. It's a great way to give back and connect with a grateful community of golfers.

Question 11

What is the Family Golf Time App?
