  • What We’re About

    USA Cares exists to help bear the burdens of service by providing post-9/11 military families with financial and advocacy support in their time of need. Assistance is provided to all branches of service, all components, all ranks while protecting the privacy and dignity of those military families and veterans who request our help. In the past six years, USA Cares has received over 20,800 requests for assistance and responded with over $6,500,000 in direct grants of support.

    USA Cares is a Kentucky based 501(c)3 non-profit, charitable organization founded in 2003 and registered with the IRS.

  • Why USA Cares is different

    1. Grants vs. loans; USA Cares provides grants to solve problems not loans to prolong them.

    2. Screening of applicants; USA Cares carefully screens each applicant. Our staff works directly with service providers (utility, mortgage company, etc.) to confirm the need.

    3. Leveraging other assistance; USA Cares mobilizes other organizations to join in providing assistance thus maximizing the impact of every donation.

    4. Low overhead/high-efficiency; Typically more than 80% of all contributions received from donations and grants go to support service members and their families.

  • Assistance programs

    1. Combat Injured; Significant levels of financial support for those wounded in combat. This includes the “invisibly wounded” PTSD and TBI veterans through our Warrior Treatment Today program.

    2. Housing Assistance Program; USA Cares has saved over 865 privately owned or rented homes and kept over 1,830 children in their familiar surroundings. While the mortgage and real estate crisis has affected all Americans, military families with fewer options, have been impacted disproportionately.

    3. Basic Needs; Assistance that keeps the lights on, the home warm and the primary family car in the driveway.
