Sierra Delta is a Madison, WI-based wellness nonprofit dedicated to empowering military veterans. This unique organization centers its mission around service to others and the profound bond with dogs, providing tailored support, resources, and community opportunities. Their approach focuses on enhancing veteran well-being through innovative programs.
At the core of Sierra Delta's offerings is the Life Buddy Program, which provides essential training grants—from basic to advanced and medical-assisted—to veterans for their companion dogs. This program not only strengthens the human-animal bond but also equips veterans with purpose and a supportive network. The organization's founder, BJ Ganem, a Marine Corps veteran, brings invaluable personal experience to the mission, understanding the critical support veterans need during transition.
Beyond training, Sierra Delta cultivates a vibrant wellness community, offering exclusive content, event invitations, and a vetted peer network. The Life Force Program encourages veterans and supporters to take on leadership roles, while the Life Blood Program provides a curated marketplace where proceeds directly fund these vital initiatives, ensuring comprehensive and sustainable support for those who have served.
