"Honoring Those Who Protect Our Home and Homeland"

Our Impact Shield initiative honors, supports, and unites those who protect our communities and our country — including active-duty military personnel, Veterans, EMS professionals, firefighters, law enforcement officers, and Gold Star families.

Built around three pillars — Awareness · Mutual Aid · Community Affairs — Impact Shield transforms recognition into action.

Through direct assistance, recognition events, public service announcements, strategic partnerships, and community activations, we raise awareness of the people who serve, mobilize resources when support is needed, and bring communities together to honor their courage, sacrifice, and service.

The Most Valuable Players Among American Citizens

The MVP Veterans Program is a recognition program and public awareness campaign dedicated to honoring the men and women who have served in the United States Armed Forces.

Through print, radio, digital media, film, and public service announcements (PSAs), we tell the stories of U.S. Veterans and recognize them as the true MVPs of American society — men and women whose service, sacrifice, courage, and commitment have helped protect our country and preserve our freedoms.

They Served Our Country. They Earned Our Recognition. They Are America's MVPs.

About InTake Impact Corp

Service. Leadership. Community. Impact.

Our Mission

Our mission is to honor, support, and unite those who serve while creating programs that strengthen individuals, families, and communities. Through strategic partnerships, public awareness, mutual aid, community engagement, workforce development, mentorship, and youth and athlete development, we turn recognition into meaningful action and action into measurable impact.

Our Approach

Through our flagship initiative, Impact Shield, InTake Impact Corp transforms recognition into action by honoring sacrifice, raising awareness, promoting mutual aid, and strengthening the connection between those who serve and the communities they protect. The Impact Shield Awareness Program produces a series of print, audio, and film public service announcements featuring firsthand testimonials from first responders, service members, Veterans, Gold Star families, and community advocates.

Our Impact

InTake Impact Corp is dedicated to creating visible, meaningful, and lasting recognition for those who serve — and uniting communities through gratitude, service, and a call to action. Our impact is measured not only by the people we recognize, but by the people we bring together, the resources we mobilize, and the communities we strengthen. From recognition to action. From service to impact.
