As of my last knowledge update in October 2021, there are thousands of veteran non-profits in the United States, with estimates ranging from over 1,500 to more than 2,000 organizations dedicated to supporting veterans. These non-profits focus on various issues, including mental health, employment, housing, and advocacy. The actual number may vary as new organizations are established and others dissolve. For the most current figures, it’s best to consult resources like the National Council of Nonprofits or specific veteran support networks.

Most non-profits that are bigger are formed at the National level as 501c3 status. That is just a legal entity though, where these nonprofits conduct their business can be at their choosing. That means it could be at a state level.

Many nonprofits distribute leaflets in parking lots of stores. They either hand them out to people or place them on car windows. Other ways are to ask your local newspaper if you can place your item in with the newspaper and the carriers will then pass them out for you.
