Here’s How The Gold Shield Works
Businesses like yours sign up to become part of The Gold Shield community.
Gold Shield runs a National Marketing Campaign, telling consumers to “shop where you see the Gold Shield,” driving customers to businesses that support Veterans, like yours.
When customers shop at your business, The Gold Shield lets them know their money is going towards helping Veterans in need, at no extra cost to them!
Your membership fees are deductible as an advertising expense, just like any advertising would be.
In addition, we encourage our members to donate to the Veteran Organization of their choice. Your donations, which are totally at your discretion, are also deductible just like any charitable donation to a 501©3 nonprofit!
Whether you give a dollar or a million, what’s important is we’re all doing something.
Donations from our members are used to fund organizations fighting for our Veterans on our home soil. Together we will change the country for the better by getting Veterans the support that they have earned through their sacrifices.
Veterans are dying by the hand of cancer at higher rates that the general population. As such, The Gold Shield recognizes Cancer Research donations qualifying for membership the same as making a Veteran Organization donation.
