Gratitude Initiative (GI) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit who has been helping 

military, veteran, and law enforcement teens achieve their college and career dreams since 2013. 


Who We Are

GI is the only non-profit providing college & career prep, as well as scholarships, for our military, veteran, & law enforcement kids. Our military service members and law enforcement officers deserve our deepest gratitude. We believe there is no greater way to honor their sacrifices than to help prepare their children for a successful future. Our mission is to honor our military and law-enforcement families by providing essential education programs and scholarships to help their children succeed in college, career, & life.

    • A military member or law enforcement officer killed in the line of duty. 
    • A veteran or law enforcement officer wounded, injured, or disabled in the line of duty. 
    • A veteran who was honorably discharged from active duty on or after 9/11/2001.
