BUILDING FOR
WHAT’S NEXT
Our mission is to build spaces for highly motivated people at life’s turning points — meeting uncertainty with curiosity and turning it into a launchpad for growth.
NEW STARTS
DESERVE SUPPORT
When highly motivated people leave the roles that once defined them, support often disappears too. The result: identity loss, mental health struggles, and missed opportunities to channel hard-earned skills into new arenas. NOVA Foundation provides the structure, tools, and community to turn these transitions into purpose.

Former elite athletes experience anxiety and depression at rates more than twice that of the general population.
50%
Of veterans who struggle with reintegration said they experience identity disruption — a loss of who they were and where they fit.
“NOVA FOUNDATION gave me a place to breathe, to connect with people who understood, and to see that my skills still mattered.”
