In 2025, Everyone Needs A Steve continued its mission to reduce suicide and improve mental health among veterans, first responders, and individuals affected by trauma. Through community fundraising, direct grants, and local volunteer support, we put your contributions to work where they matter most. Here’s how your generous contributions made a difference:
In 2025, gross contributions and event receipts surged to $36,356 across our Pins for Patriots and Veterans’ Honor Run events. By maintaining disciplined operational overhead ($4,280 total across software, insurance, advertising, and state filings), 83.4% of every dollar spent went directly into program grants supporting veterans and first responders.

We are continuing to build on our work in 2025 and look forward to growing our reach in 2026. Your continued support ensures we can expand our programs, assist more service members and first responders, and raise vital mental health awareness. Together, we make a lasting impact.
We are reducing veteran suicide rates by raising awareness, and generating funds for critical mental health services.
