2025 VAST Donors

Pineland Farms Inc., a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, supports the VAST Program by providing all that Pineland Farms has to offer at no cost to the Veterans. The VAST program is also primarily funded through an annual competitive grant administered by the Veterans Administration. The VA awards grants to qualifying organizations to plan, develop, manage, and implement programs to provide adaptive sports opportunities for disabled Veterans and disabled members of the Armed Forces as authorized under 38 United States Code 521A.

However, we also rely on both monetary and in-kind donations from commercial entities and private individuals when the above funding is not enough. This generosity provides us with staff funding and much needed flexibility in how we run our program. Their generous contributions have helped to make VAST a better program for all of our Veterans.

During 2025, VAST received donations (both financial and in-kind) from a number of very generous donors.  Over the course of the past year, we have used these funds to do such things as: purchase plane tickets for veterans to attend various events, provide food and housing during multi-day camps, purchase Electronic Assist Cycles, and fund a part-time staff member.  We have also received in kind support in the form of Nordic Ski Equipment, gift certificates, meals, camping equipment and groceries.  We would like to publicly acknowledge each of those donors.
