Thank you for your interest in applying for an award to attend programs designed to enhance your overall wellness. The Give to Give Foundation proudly offers awards to U.S. Veterans and their spouses or partners, providing opportunities to embark on a journey of personal growth. Through these programs, participants will learn valuable tools and gain insights into the science and practice of self-regulation, stress management, and resilience building. These programs are designed to enhance leadership skills, optimize performance, and foster meaningful connections within a supportive community of Veterans and their spouses or partners.

Our mission is to empower Veterans and their loved ones to overcome challenges, embrace new possibilities, and unlock their full potential as they transition back into civilian life. We are honored to be part of your journey toward growth, strength, and connection.

Award recipients will receive financial assistance to participate in:

• NeuroChangeSolutions (NCS) Training: This in-person training, hosted by The Give to Give Foundation and led by certified NCS Consultants, introduces neuroscience-based strategies for effective, sustainable personal change. Participants engage in individual and group activities, videos, skills practice, and the direct application of key takeaways.
• Progressive Online Course: This foundational course hosted by Dr Joe Dispenza and his affiliated companies combines science, case studies, lectures, and meditations to teach participants how to overcome challenges. Dr Joe explains the science behind human transformation through neuroscience while introducing meditation techniques.
• Week Long Advanced Retreat: This immersive in-person experience hosted by Dr Joe Dispenza and his affiliated companies builds on the Progressive Online Course, offering deeper insights into the brain-body connection and the science of transformation. Participants practice various meditation styles, attend advanced lectures, and join a supportive community of like-minded individuals while engaging in over 35 hours of meditations and teachings.
