The VFW Website
Solution program is geared to assist Posts in establishing a viable,
easy-to-manage website. Working in conjunction with its developers, DrivePath's
template-based platform offers Posts an affordable opportunity to have a strong web presence, making pertinent information easily accessible to members and the public. Further, the website template being offered adopts a
consistent look and feel, working to reinforce the official VFW brand and
messaging.
The VFW is offering your Post a grant to cover the first year of service!
However, this grant is limited to the first 52 Departments and 4,000 Posts to
apply. The grant will cover the cost of domain management, development,
integration, and hosting for the first year. Thereafter, it is the
responsibility of the Post to fund the annual domain management and hosting fee
of $420. Grants are not available to Districts.
These websites
boast many webmaster-friendly functions and feature integration with the VFW national, Department, and Post websites
to share information both manually and automatically. This includes a system
which allows the Posts to efficiently submit reports directly to the
Department. In addition, DrivePath offers ongoing support and training to each
post.
