vetting non-profits for you

Our mission is to champion vetted non-profit organizations that tackle critical societal challenges through programs rooted in best practices and ethical standards. In instances where we encounter gaps or are unable to identify an organization capable of addressing a specific need, we are committed to stepping in. Using our own resources, we will attempt to establish new initiatives to ensure that essential problems are met with innovative and effective solutions.

A few of our projects

the children

Tango 3 believes the children of the world are the key to a brighter, more compassionate future. By investing in their well-being, education, and development, we can empower the next generation to overcome challenges and create lasting positive change. Through our support of vetted charities like Toys for Tots, we aim to provide essential resources that uplift children, giving them the foundation they need to thrive and succeed in life.

the VETERANS

Tango 3 believes veterans are the backbone of our nation’s strength and freedom. By supporting programs that honor their sacrifices and help them successfully transition back into civilian life, we aim to provide essential resources that address their unique challenges. Our goal is to ensure veterans have the support they need to lead fulfilling, empowered lives after their service, reinforcing our commitment to those who have bravely served our country.

the ELDERLY

Tango 3 believes the elderly are the guardians of wisdom and the storytellers of our past. Their experiences and lessons shape the generations to come, and by supporting programs that uplift and care for the elderly, we honor their invaluable contributions. Through our efforts, we seek to preserve their stories and ensure they receive the respect, care, and dignity they deserve, allowing their legacies to inspire future generations.

about gerald Alcorn

meet the President & founder

Gerald has dedicated the majority of his adult life to working with nonprofit organizations, with a focus on supporting veterans and underserved communities. His efforts have been particularly notable through his involvement in the US Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots program, the Marine Corps League, Kiwanis, the American Red Cross, and various other initiatives.

The idea for Tango3.org was sparked during a conversation with a colleague about the success of platforms built for hospitals, universities, and state institutions to improve patient outcomes. It was in this moment that Gerald realized such a platform could be adapted to address suicide prevention and mental health programs for veterans. 

This realization led to countless hours of meetings with Senators, congressmen, VA officials, and even a formal proposal submitted to the VA through a congressman’s office under President Trump’s veteran suicide prevention initiative, PREVENTS. However, the recurring challenge was always the same: “This is what we’ve been looking for, but how do we fund it?”

Frustrated by bureaucratic delays, Gerald decided to take matters into his own hands by raising the necessary funds independently. Understanding the importance of not diverting resources from existing charities he supported, he sought alternative ways to generate capital. During this time, while raising money for a military family day event, Gerald connected with Wayne and Michelle Johnson, fifth-generation cattle ranchers and owners of Dove Creek Wagyu Cattle Company. Together, they developed a program where profits from their premium Akaushi Wagyu beef jerky would support vetted veteran programs and fund the veteran suicide-prevention platform.

Recognizing the need for a legitimate 501(c)(3) nonprofit to facilitate these efforts, Gerald founded Tango3.org. This organization not only formalized the work he had been doing for decades but also allowed him to bring his vast experience and charitable partnerships under one umbrella, with the veteran jerky project serving as the first initiative in collaboration with Wayne and Michelle Johnson.
