Join VetFran to help veterans

Supporting and giving thanks to our nation’s heroes isn’t about words, it’s about deeds. Veterans leave the armed services with invaluable skills and matching those with opportunities in franchising is a win-win. Making a concerted effort to recruit veteran franchisees and hire veteran employees is increasingly becoming an industry standard, and it shows a dedication to civic responsibility.

Senior leaders of member companies can apply to serve on the leadership committee, and VetFran is a conduit to our many partners in the veteran’s community.

Supplier Membership Benefits

VetFran’s program is open to IFA’s non-franchisor member supplier companies, and they play a vital role in the VetFran ecosystem. Our community prides itself on being veteran friendly, and companies that provide services to our franchisor members are encouraged to live those values too. If your company is an IFA supplier member, be it a consultant, an IT or marketing provider, a human resources company or a lender, there’s room for you in the VetFran family. By making a commitment to either directly support veterans or veteran franchisees with discounts, or by supporting VetFran member companies by extending a discount on them, you have an opportunity to become an active and high-visibility member of this 450+ company network.
