One clear next step toward the life you're building after service. Prize is built by U.S. military veterans, for veterans and transitioning service members. Instead of another overwhelming directory, Prize gives you one clear move at a time: name what you're working toward, spot what's in the way, and get connected to a vetted organization that can actually help. HOW IT WORKS • Start with three questions. Tell us where you are. No forms, no case file, no waiting room. • See your next move. Prize turns your goal into a single clear step, whether that's housing, work, education, benefits, health, or getting your bearings. • See who can help. Every match is a vetted veteran-serving organization, matched to your goal and your area. • Connect on your terms. You choose exactly what to share before any organization sees anything. Message them right in the app and get replies as notifications. • See the whole climb. Watch your journey unfold step by step, and pick your next summit when you're ready for more. VERIFICATION THAT RESPECTS YOUR SERVICE Verify once with your DD-214 or VA sign-in and see the benefits already on file for you. Your records stay yours: they are never shared with any organization without your explicit consent. YOUR PRIVACY IS THE FOUNDATION • We never sell your data. • Organizations see only what you choose to share. • Your reflections and answers are private to you. • Delete your account and data at any time. SUPPORT WHEN IT MATTERS MOST The Veterans Crisis Line (dial 988, then press 1) is one tap away throughout the app. Whether you left the service last month or twenty years ago, you don't have to figure out what's next alone. Free for veterans. Built with heart by those who've walked the path. Learn more at https://prize.vet
