Sierra Delta is a nonprofit wellness network dedicated to empowering military veterans through tailored dog-training grants, exclusive educational modules, and a supportive peer community. Members can apply for the Life Buddy Program to receive basic, advanced, or medical-assisted training grants once they complete our comprehensive online education modules. Built on Circle’s intuitive platform, you’ll connect with fellow veterans, access grant resources, and participate in events across the U.S. all at no cost to you.

Our community perks include access to powerful Life Buddy stories, exclusive training content, and invitations to meetups and national events like Nantucket Week and the Abundant Joy Challenge. You’ll gain leadership experience through the Life Force Program and support Sierra Delta’s mission via the Life Blood marketplace, where proceeds fund further grants. Every feature is designed to foster empowerment, purpose, innovation, and ongoing support for veterans and their canine partners.
