Today, the Outlook Foundation announced that it is expanding its support for veterans by supplying them with a device so they can seek employment and/or education. Recent studies show that, although dropping, the unemployment rate for returning military personnel is still 7.9%, higher than that of the national rate. This organization, which presented at the 2013 SMB Nation Fall Conference in Las Vegas, is a nonprofit outreach program that assists veterans and children in need.
The Outlook Foundation is brainchild of late SMB Nation Community member, John Iasiuolo, who believed that a computer could change a life. His wife, Christine, Sharon Fry and the rest of the Outlook Foundation team have been working hard to keep John’s dream alive. “We really do believe that a computer can change a life, thus it gives us great joy to be able to extend our mission to include veterans of our military. This is just a small gesture that we can do to help our veterans who have fought for the freedoms we enjoy,” said Co-Founder Christine Iasiuolo, in a recent press release.
