National Economic Opportunity Fund

The basic premise of the National Economic Opportunity Fund (“NEOF”)is that entrepreneurial effort, perspective, and passion of Veterans,in true partnership with communities, will accelerate job creation and regional community economic development.

The NEOF strategy is to provide a Veteran driven small business incubation platform that includes a replicable call center business and various environmental, internet and medical service businesses. NEOF is an program of the National Veterans Business Development Corporation (“The Veterans Corporation”(“TCV”)) which developed grants of $1,000,000 in 2009 to support the NEOF platform, including $300,000 of capital for Prevail Health Services, a Service Disabled Veteran Owned Business which will test internet protocols at the Veterans Administration for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). The Prevail grant was awarded to TVC by Major League Baseball and the McCormick Foundation.

Advisors to NEOF include:

Apolonio Flores - Housing Expert
William C. Kelly, Jr. - Stewards for Affordable Housing for the Future
Jack Jacobs - Medal of Honor Recipient
Mark Pinsky - Opportunity Finance Network
John Taylor - National Community Investment Coalition

NEOF intends develop a series of Veteran sponsored regional call centers around the United States beginning in 2010. Interested communities can inquire at 901-301-3085.
