MARCH 10, 2025 — MELVILLE, N.Y. – American Veterans Group, the Wall Street firm that invests in U.S. military veterans, their families, and their futures, has surpassed a significant philanthropic milestone with total donations surpassing $1 million.

The financial support for more than 50 veteran-focused nonprofits nationwide has advanced the cause of recruiting, hiring and retaining service members and their immediate family members who are transitioning from military to civilian careers. Since its founding in 2018, American Veterans Group has had a positive impact on the lives of more than 3,900 veterans and their families.

“Surpassing $1 million in donations to veteran-focused nonprofits is a powerful testament to American Veterans Group’s founding purpose and social mission—to create meaningful impact for both the veteran community and our clients,” said Ben Biles, American Veterans Group CEO and co-founder. “We are proud to maximize the social impact of both AVG and the issuers who engage our services through our scalable philanthropic approach. Support of the veteran community and individuals’ transition to civilian careers is more important now than ever, and we are committed to carrying out that mission for years to come.”

AVG, through its adjacent American Vets Group Foundation - a 501(c)(19) non-profit corporation – has provided financial support for non-profit organizations in 25 states. All of the non-profits American Veterans Group has supported work closely with the military veteran community to provide training and career services to support the often-fraught transition to civilian careers.

In addition to its support of key veteran-focused nonprofits, such as FourBlock and On Course Foundation, American Veterans Group has concentrated on expanding its impact through the establishment of the AVG Veteran Jobs Network. The AVG Veteran Jobs Network, powered by VetJobs, one of the nation’s leading career development organizations, helps place veterans in positions with AVG’s current and prospective client companies. Since its launch in April 2023, the AVG Veteran Jobs Network has helped place more than 500 veterans and military family members in good-paying jobs with its network of 133 Fortune 500 partner companies. Of those placed, 82% have been former or active enlisted service members.

In 2025, American Veterans Group is also launching a partnership with Hiring Our Heroes, a program developed by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation, to help facilitate access to key training and career resources for veterans.
