Refuel Agency, which specializes in military-focused customer engagement, and Prospect Capital Corporation, a middle-market investment company, joined forces to support two veteran-focused organizations: Team Red, White & Blue and Avalon Action Alliance.

The foundation’s support will help to expand Team RWB’s Eagle Alliance Program, which provides corporate Veteran Employee Resource Group support to help veterans thrive in the workplace, enhances digital infrastructure for veteran referrals and strengthens partnerships with organizations focused on veteran health and wellness. For Avalon Action Alliance, the support is aimed toward strengthening its integrative trauma care model, which provides traumatic brain injury treatment, post-traumatic stress recovery and substance abuse treatment.
