FourBlock delivers real, measurable economic mobility.

With an average $40,000 salary lift per alumnus, and more than 7,000 alumni nationwide, our work currently translates into $500M+ in increased lifetime earnings for veterans, strengthening families, employers, and communities across the country.

As we scale our programs to reach 25,000 veterans and military spouses, that impact grows exponentially representing nearly $1.8B in increased lifetime earnings and a generational shift in economic opportunity for the military-connected workforce.

Join us. Be a Changemaker. Help raise $1M through the FourBlock Changemakers Gala and power the next era of veteran career mobility at scale.

The FourBlock Changemakers Gala 2026

Where Purpose Meets Impact

Fundraising Goal: $1,000,000

Proceeds from the FourBlock Changemakers Gala support FourBlock’s year-round mission to advance career mobility for veterans and military spouses.
The impact expands Industry Pathway Events, AI-enabled career tools, alumni chapters, and career readiness programs—connecting talent to opportunity and translating service into meaningful careers.

Join us April 25th aboard the USS Intrepid, when the Changemakers Gala brings together partners, leaders, and visionaries who are reshaping what’s possible for our military-connected workforce. Together will we celebrate the companies, champions, and alumni proving (who prove?) when purpose meets opportunity, careers change, families thrive, and communities grow stronger.

This sponsorship includes the opportunity to nominate a Changemaker from your organization or network—a leader, ERG champion, or ally whose work is advancing veteran and military spouse career mobility. Your Changemaker will receive featured recognition at the Gala, along with pre-event and post-event visibility through FourBlock storytelling, video, and social media.

Changemaker Sponsors also receive exclusive access to a pre-gala leadership convening, bringing together senior executives and partners for peer-level discussion, workforce insights, and early relationship-building that carries through the Gala and beyond.

With 10 premium gala seats, VIP reception access, and elevated brand recognition, this sponsorship directly fuels FourBlock’s year-round programs while positioning your organization as a visible leader and champion in the future of veteran talent and workforce innovation.
