about

The VetFund Foundation was founded in 2006 to continue the work of the California Department of Veterans Affairs. In 2009, the VetFund Foundation became a stand-alone entity and incorporated as a 501(c)3 Non-Profit Corporation in the State of California.

Annual lEADERSHIP cONFERENCE

The VetFund Foundation is proud to support CalVet’s aim to lead a shared mission to make California the best state in the nation for serving veterans and their families.

 

At the annual Leadership Summit, we continue building on the progress of past years by bringing together professionals and leaders from across the state. This annual event provides an ongoing framework for information sharing, problem-solving, and collective action. 

Each year, for three days, leaders from every corner of the veteran community—county and municipal governments, elected officials, federal agencies, nonprofits, veterans service organizations, and businesses—come together under one roof. It’s a rare and invaluable opportunity to build relationships, share insights, and strengthen California’s support for veterans and their families. 

This Summit isn’t just another conference. It’s the only event of its kind in California where such a diverse group comes together to collaborate and find solutions for the challenges veterans face. Career pathways, veterans’ rights, education, mental health, and policy leadership are all on the agenda, and everyone has a seat at the table. 

California’s veterans deserve nothing less than a community that comes together each year to make this state the very best place for those who served.
