NOLB provides emergency financial aid, employment opportunities, and used vehicles to former Afghan and Iraqi interpreters who resettle in the United States through the Special Immigrant Visas program. Over 50,000 interpreters served with United States forces in Afghanistan and Iraq since the attacks of September 11, 2001. No One Left Behind operates as a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization.

Out of 45,000 veteran nonprofits, No One Left Behind is the only national organization solely dedicated to assisting SIVs throughout their application process for resettlement in the United States.

As of March 2021, NOLB has provided direct aid to more than 2,000 SIV families in over 90 cities. The organization has partnered with State Department-funded Volunteer Agencies and the International Refugee Assistance Project (IRAP) to provide support to the SIV community. According to Charity Navigator, NOLB allocates 76 percent of its revenue to program expenses and 25 percent to fundraising and administrative expenses. The Better Business Bureau Wise Giving Alliance accredited NOLB for meeting all 20 of its standards in 2021.
