Our Corporate Partners
Beyond the Yellow Ribbon companies’ and organizations’ efforts are an ongoing commitment to supporting military employees and communities, building a stronger, more compassionate, equitable, and inclusive workplace.

What is a Beyond the Yellow Ribbon company/organization?
A BTYR company/organization is a broad, organizationally structured company with national, regional, and statewide influence. It must also have essential areas, including a Human Resources Recruiting and Human Resources Policy and Procedures Department, Training and Development, and Community and Employee Outreach and Support. A BTYR company/organization creates a comprehensive network that unites, connects, and coordinates these areas throughout the company/organization to proactively support our military community.

What if a company/organization doesn't meet the above criteria?
Companies without broad organizational structures to include the above key areas or national, regional, and statewide influence can partner with a local BTYR community network. BTYR community networks in cities and counties across the state support their local military community through volunteering, hosting special events, sending care packages to deployed military members, and other important activities. Companies/organizations can also offer services and/or discounts for members of the military community.

Why become a Beyond the Yellow Ribbon company/organization?
Since 9/11, thousands of Minnesotans have served our nation. By developing a Beyond the Yellow Ribbon network within a company/organization, key areas can collaborate to honor and embrace those affected by past and present military service. This support can enable a successful transition into the workplace for service members and creates support systems for employees affected by military service.
