The Call of Duty Endowment is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization supported by Activision Blizzard.
VETERANS ARE VALUABLE IN TODAY’S JOB MARKET: ‘HIGHLY ADAPTABLE TO CHANGE’
“The endowment was founded to give back meaningfully to the real-life heroes who inspire Activision’s game, ‘Call of Duty,’” said Imperiale.
“‘Call of Duty’ is one of the world’s largest entertainment brands, played by millions of people around the world.”

To date, Imperiale reported that Activision Blizzard has donated more than $40 million to the endowment.
She noted it has “successfully placed over 125,000 veterans into high-quality jobs through more than $73 million in grants.”

Activision Blizzard covers all the endowment’s operating costs, she said.
“Every cent that we raise goes directly to putting veterans in jobs — it’s incredibly rare for a nonprofit to have this advantage in its mission,” Imperiale said.
‘True appreciation’
Military Appreciation Month goes well beyond just one day devoted to military or veterans, Imperiale also said. It’s been spanning the entire month of May.
“The endowment strives to raise awareness and funds to help more veterans find the jobs they deserve.”
