Operation: Job Ready Veterans Named 2026 Top-Rated Nonprofit by GreatNonprofits
Indianapolis, IN (March 2, 2026) – Operation: Job Ready Veterans (OJRV) announced today it has been named a “2026 Top-Rated Nonprofit” by GreatNonprofits, the leading website for community recommendations of charities and nonprofits.
OJRV provides job readiness and career transition services for veterans, service members, military families, and caregivers nationwide and through its branch locations in Indiana (headquarters), Illinois, Kentucky, Ohio, Michigan, Missouri, Tennessee, and Virginia, helping individuals achieve their career and employment goals. In addition, OJRV assists veterans and military families throughout the nation through its One-on-One Career Transition Services program.
“We are honored to be named a 2026 Top-Rated Nonprofit,” says OJRV Executive Director Dr. Gene Anderson. “We are proud of our accomplishments and continued success in helping veterans, service members, and their families navigate transition to civilian life. Knowing this recognition from GreatNonprofits comes from the communities we serve demonstrates we are executing our mission well, impacting communities one person at a time. Having our commitment to recruiting, employing, and retaining veterans recognized by organizations like GreatNonprofits is an honor we don’t take lightly.”
The Top-Rated Nonprofit Award is based on the rating and number of reviews that OJRV received from volunteers, donors, and aid recipients. “This organization is not a one and done deal, meaning they continue to assist me with providing additional community resources that are related to transition from military to civilian life. I strongly recommend this organization for others to use throughout their transition process,” says one reviewer about OJRV’s commitment to providing holistic services that span the entire transition process.
