Baz Nixon Marks Five Years in the Nonprofit Sector With Blue Sky Grant Services
Colorado, US, 19th September 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, After a distinguished 21-year military career, Baz Nixon has marked his fifth year in the nonprofit sector with the continued growth of his grant consulting firm, Blue Sky Grant Services, LLC. What began as a post-retirement pivot has become a mission-driven enterprise that has already secured more than $11 million in grant funding for nonprofits across the country.
For Nixon, the milestone is more than just a business anniversary. It represents a personal journey of service beyond the uniform—one that has carried him from humanitarian relief missions in war zones to empowering nonprofits that provide life-changing programs for veterans and marginalized communities.
A Veteran’s Transition to Civilian Service
When Baz Nixon retired from the U.S. Air Force as a field-grade logistics officer, he had already dedicated2 decades to complex operations around the globe. From organizing movement, storage, and tracking military supplies and people, Baz’s most meaningful operations were organizing and delivering humanitarian airdrops of food and supplies during the Afghanistan War and coordinating international relief after the devastating Sumatra earthquake. Baz Nixon’s work was rooted in logistics, leadership, and compassion.
“Service doesn’t stop when you hang up the uniform,” Nixon said. “I knew I wanted my second career to focus on helping people, and the nonprofit sector became the perfect place to continue that mission.”
Nixon’s transition into nonprofit work was deliberate. He pursued multiple graduate degrees—including a Master of Public Administration and certifications in nonprofit management and grant writing—to ensure he had both the academic foundation and practical skills to succeed. That preparation led him to establish Blue Sky Grant Services, where he now applies his military precision and strategic thinking to the complex world of grants.
Blue Sky Grant Services: A Mission in Action
Since its founding, Blue Sky Grant Services has become a trusted partner for nonprofits seeking to secure sustainable funding. Nixon’s firm helps organizations identify opportunities, craft compelling proposals, and manage compliance with confidence.
To date, Nixon has developed more than 360 proposals valued at over $25 million, with a win record of $12 million awarded. His work has supported initiatives ranging from employment readiness and reentry services for justice-involved individuals to programs focused on health, wellness, and community resilience for veterans, and at-risk youth
Several of his current clients focus specifically on veterans—a group close to his heart. One organization provides equine-assisted therapy for veterans and at-risk youth who are coping with trauma and mental health challenges. Another works with justice-involved veterans, helping incarcerated individuals mentor those still serving in uniform to reduce recidivism and prevent suicide. A third empowers veterans through art, offering creative expression as a path toward healing.
“These organizations are doing extraordinary work,” Nixon explained. “My role is to make sure they have the resources to continue serving veterans who deserve support after giving so much themselves.”
The Importance of Trauma-Informed Care
Nixon’s advocacy extends beyond funding. During his time as a nonprofit leader, he co-led a Trauma Informed Approach Committee, where he championed workplace practices that recognize the toll of secondary trauma on employees. He spearheaded the creation of decompression spaces, peer wellness groups, and training sessions designed to support nonprofit staff as they navigated emotionally demanding roles.
“Nonprofits often focus on the trauma their clients face, but staff members carry that weight too,” Nixon noted. “If we don’t take care of the people delivering services, burnout becomes inevitable. Trauma-informed care is as essential for employees as it is for program participants.”
Certified in Mental Health First Aid and trained in motivational interviewing, Nixon has positioned himself as a thought leader on integrating wellness into nonprofit culture. His perspective underscores his holistic approach: funding, strategy, and staff well-being all play vital roles in sustainable impact.
Bridging Academia and Practice
Education remains another thread running through Nixon’s career. With three master’s degrees—which include advanced studies in organizational management, counseling, and public administration—he blends scholarly insight with practical experience. His time as an adjunct instructor at the U.S. Air Force Academy and Embry-Riddle University sharpened his ability to mentor future leaders, and today he continues that role as a board advisor and thought leader for the School of Public Service at the University of Colorado, Colorado Springs.
“I see education as empowerment,” Nixon said. “Whether I’m teaching in a classroom, guiding a nonprofit through a complex grant process, or mentoring young professionals, the goal is always the same: to help people find self-sufficiency, purpose, and autonomy.”
A Career Built on Service and Adaptability
The arc of Nixon’s career tells a story of adaptability. In uniform, he mastered logistics and led large teams through both combat operations and humanitarian relief. In the nonprofit sector, he has brought that same discipline and innovation to fundraising and development. Along the way, he has become a trusted advocate for organizations that support the most vulnerable.
Colleagues describe him as a rare leader who balances strategic thinking with deep empathy. “Baz has the unique ability to make systems work better while never losing sight of the people those systems are meant to serve,” said a longtime nonprofit partner. “He’s a problem-solver, but also a listener and motivator.”
For Baz Nixon, these qualities trace back to his mission statement: to help people gain autonomy, self-sufficiency, purpose, and creativity. Whether through delivering humanitarian aid across continents or securing millions in grant funding for nonprofits, he has remained true to that purpose.
Looking Ahead
As Blue Sky Grant Services enters its next chapter, Nixon shows no sign of slowing down. He plans to expand the firm’s reach, continue supporting veteran-focused programs, and advocate for greater adoption of trauma-informed practices in the nonprofit world.
“Five years is an important milestone, but I see it as just the beginning,” Nixon reflected. “The needs in our communities are growing, and nonprofits can’t do this work without the right resources. My job is to make sure nonprofits have the support to keep making a difference.”
In many ways, Nixon’s second career mirrors his first: mission-driven, people-focused, and dedicated to service. From the skies of Afghanistan to the classrooms of Colorado and the boardrooms of nonprofits, Baz Nixon’s journey is proof that service doesn’t end with retirement—it simply evolves.

United States, 20th Sep 2025 – AWP Gaming Studios LLC, the company behind the Okra Token, has announced the launch of the Okra Shop, a new giveaway platform designed to merge the excitement of social media raffles with blockchain-powered participation. With trending prizes and a unique entry system based on Okra Tokens, the platform offers both entertainment and financial growth for the community.
Social Media Giveaways, Reinvented
Giveaways have become a popular trend across social media platforms, with users engaging in raffles for everything from electronics to gift cards. AWP Gaming Studios is taking this concept further by building a blockchain-based giveaway platform where participants use Okra Tokens to enter for a chance to win major prizes.
At launch, the Okra Shop will feature highly sought-after tech products, including a brand-new MacBook, iPad, and Apple Smartwatch.
How the Okra Shop Works
To enter a giveaway, participants will pay an entry fee equal to 2% of the product’s retail price, but in Okra Tokens. Once enough participants have joined to cover the product cost, the item will be raffled off and awarded to one lucky winner.
This innovative system ensures that giveaways are fully funded through the community, while also creating consistent token demand. Every entry requires Okra Token purchases, which contributes to increased trading volume and market activity.
Driving Token Growth and Royalties
The Okra Shop is not only fun for participants—it also directly supports the financial rewards of royalty holders. Every transaction on the platform generates activity that contributes to the 6% transaction fee redistribution model, providing consistent weekly payouts to partners.
As more people participate in giveaways, demand for Okra Token rises, driving both token value and transaction volume. This creates a cycle where community excitement translates into real financial benefits.
“The Okra Shop is our way of combining a popular online trend with blockchain utility,” said Michael Miller, Sales Manager of AWP Gaming Studios. “It’s fun, engaging, and most importantly, it strengthens the Okra Token ecosystem in a way that benefits everyone involved.”
Expanding Token Utility
The launch of the Okra Shop marks another milestone in AWP Gaming Studios’ mission to create multiple utilities for the Okra Token. Alongside gaming tournaments, referral programs, and the Aliees animated brand, the giveaway platform reinforces the token’s real-world use and long-term sustainability.
By continuously adding new ways for people to use Okra Tokens, the company ensures that the ecosystem grows stronger while maintaining its focus on rewarding its community.
Building a Community-Driven Future
The Okra Shop is designed to create excitement, attract new holders, and reward both participants and royalty partners. By tying every giveaway to Okra Token activity, the platform guarantees that the community benefits from each event.
As giveaways expand to include more products and categories, AWP Gaming Studios anticipates significant increases in trading volume, helping to position the Okra Token as one of the most dynamic and utility-driven cryptocurrencies in the market today.
About AWP Gaming Studios LLC
AWP Gaming Studios LLC is a United States-based entertainment and blockchain company focused on combining gaming, cryptocurrency, and animation into a thriving ecosystem.

United States, 20th Sep 2025 – AWP Gaming Studios LLC, the company behind the Okra Token, has introduced a powerful referral program designed to reward community members while fueling the token’s worldwide growth. With a 10% referral bonus and a unique royalty redistribution model, the company is creating opportunities for both small participants and large-scale investors.
Referral Program Unlocks 10% Rewards
The new referral program enables participants to earn 10% from every person they refer to the Okra Token royalty system. This initiative is part of AWP Gaming Studios’ community-first approach, which ensures that growth is driven not just by advertising, but by real people who believe in the project.
By rewarding referrals, the company strengthens its network of holders while giving participants an additional way to generate income. Each new referral adds to the trading volume of Okra, which in turn increases the royalties distributed back to existing partners.
A Creative Redistribution Method
What makes the Okra Token royalty program unique is the redistribution method developed by AWP Gaming Studios. Instead of relying on external funding or loans, the company uses redistribution of transaction fees and token utility to pay out royalties. This community-based approach ensures that the ecosystem is self-sustaining, transparent, and rewarding for everyone involved.
“Our royalty positions are moving quickly because people understand the value of what we’ve created,” explained Michael Miller, Sales Manager of AWP Gaming Studios. “Every referral and every transaction strengthens the system, and our holders benefit from it daily. It’s a truly innovative way to grow a token and reward the community at the same time.”
Royalty Positions Selling Fast
Interest in the program has surged, with royalty positions selling at a rapid pace. As word spreads about the consistent weekly returns generated by Okra Token activity, both small-scale participants and serious investors are joining the program.
The company has emphasized that larger investors are welcome, as AWP Gaming Studios is now preparing to expand its marketing reach beyond the U.S. to global audiences.
Worldwide Marketing Strategy in Motion
With the Okra Token video already translated into 16 different languages, AWP Gaming Studios is ready to market its project across multiple regions worldwide. From Asia to Europe to Latin America, the company’s marketing strategy is built to introduce Okra Token to millions of potential new holders and participants.
This global push is expected to significantly increase token demand and trading volume, directly boosting the royalty payouts for program members. For early investors and royalty holders, the international expansion represents a rare opportunity to be positioned ahead of a major growth wave.
Building a Strong Future for Okra Token
The combination of the 10% referral program, creative redistribution funding, and global marketing efforts positions the Okra Token as one of the most ambitious community-driven crypto projects in the market today.
As royalty positions sell out and more investors join the program, AWP Gaming Studios is confident that the Okra Token will continue to rise in value, while delivering meaningful rewards for those who believed in the project from the beginning.
About AWP Gaming Studios LLC
