What Are AWI Outposts?

Outposts are local volunteer teams powered by everyday Americans who choose to act.

Backed by the American Warrior Initiative (AWI), Outposts operate in neighborhoods across the country—rallying communities to support veterans, first responders, and their families through fundraising, outreach, and connection.

Our Mission in Action

Outposts lead with heart and hustle. Their mission:

Whether it’s a cornhole tournament, a service project, or a school supply drive, Outposts unite people around a shared goal: to give back to those who’ve given so much.

Who Runs an Outpost?

Outposts are usually led by Commanders—volunteer leaders who coordinate efforts and keep the mission on track. Most are Fairway Mortgage professionals, but Outposts welcome anyone willing to serve. If you’ve attended an AWI event and felt inspired, you’re already halfway there.

Why It Matters

Every dollar raised by an Outpost goes directly to veterans and first responders. Fairway covers all overhead, ensuring 100% of public donations fuel impact—not admin.

And the best part? AWI often matches what local Outposts raise, doubling the power of your hometown efforts.

A Local Solution to a National Challenge

Outposts are more than fundraisers. They’re community connectors. They remind veterans: You’re not forgotten. And they remind civilians: You can make a difference.
