Our Mission, Visions, Values & Goals

At 3SDVA, we believe that every life matters and that those who have served our country deserve respect, support, and opportunity.

We know that challenges faced by veterans and their families are not inevitable — with the right support, guidance, and community, lives can be transformed. Inequality, hardship, and barriers must be addressed, and together we can help veterans build a brighter, more secure future.

A just and sustainable world without the inequalities that keep people in poverty.

Our purpose

We relieve and eliminate poverty.

Our values

  • Equality: We believe everyone must be treated fairly and have equitable access to rights and opportunities.

  • Empowerment: We foster a culture of trust where everyone has the tools, information, and safety to make decisions, take ownership, and grow through learning — including from mistakes

  • Solidarity: We collaborate across boundaries and sectors, guided by integrity and shared purpose, to promote human rights, advance justice, and work towards a just and sustainable world.


  • Inclusiveness: Ensuring all perspectives are welcomed and valued and calling out exclusionary behaviours when they arise to foster a truly respectful and inclusive workplace.

  • Accountability: We act with integrity and take responsibility for following through on our commitments — to each other, to our partners, and to the communities we serve

  • Courage: We speak up, own our mistakes, and embrace bold, thoughtful action that addresses the root causes of problems and inequity to create meaningful change.
