Answer the Call. Shape Bastion’s Future.

The Bastion Leadership Society

honors those whose extraordinary leadership and philanthropy ensure that veterans and servicemembers receive the care, dignity, and community they deserve—today and for generations to come.

Founded at a pivotal moment in Bastion’s growth, the Leadership Society recognizes individuals who believe that healing does not happen in isolation and that our community has a shared responsibility to care for those who once cared for our nation. These leaders understand that lasting impact requires sustained commitment, vision, and action.

Membership in the Bastion Leadership Society is reserved for those who make annual leadership gifts of $10,000 or more.

The generosity of Leadership Society members provides the foundation for Bastion’s work—supporting the operations, programs, and infrastructure that allow us to serve veterans and servicemembers with consistency, excellence, and compassion. As Bastion prepares to open the Veterans Wellness Center in January 2026, the commitment of this distinguished group allows us to move forward with confidence and ambition.

Leadership Society members stand at the forefront of veteran-centered philanthropy, making possible initiatives that expand access to traumatic brain injury care, mental health and wellness programming, workforce development, and essential daily operations. Their support ensures that Bastion remains a trusted hub for veterans and servicemembers across the Greater New Orleans region—and beyond.
