For Supporters: Donations & Sponsorship

We offer several tiers of corporate sponsorship that allow your business to make a visible impact in the Sarasota community. Sponsorships directly fund programs like our mobility ramp builds and emergency relief funds.

SRQ Vets is proud to be a volunteer-led organization. This keeps our overhead low, ensuring that the vast majority of every dollar donated goes directly to veteran programs; whether that’s paying an electric bill for a struggling family or buying lumber for a wheelchair ramp.
