Challenge America is a small nonprofit organization based in Basalt, Colorado, operating as a 501(c)(3) that connects service members, veterans and their families to resources and integrated support to foster community and purpose. It pursues innovative, evidence-based approaches to meeting military community needs, leveraging technology, the arts, and collaborative networks to reach people wherever they live. Its programs target veterans, service members, and their families, building networks such as the Military Sisterhood Initiative, a nationwide peer-support framework for women in the military developed in collaboration with WINC: For All Women Veterans. One initiative, CAMVETS, brings together designers, developers and engineers to address a specific veteran need and to scale resulting solutions through partnerships. The organization also offers Music Therapy Retreats to help veterans cope with PTSD and hosts a National Exhibit of Veteran Art to promote creative engagement and public awareness of healing arts. In July 2022, Challenge America partnered with Tandy Leather to bring leathercraft workshops to the CAVARTS community.
