Our service members made one of the most important decisions of their lives when they decided to serve and protect this great nation. Yes, a difficult decision, but now comes the hard part. Many service members will be separated from their loved ones through relocations and deployments. Others will face the challenges of serious injury or trauma. Once separated from service, veterans will face a new set of challenges such as social readjustment, physical/mental recovery, and civilian reintegration. Through all these stages of service, the military member’s family will encounter similar struggles, challenges, and obstacles. MFVSOA is there to help relieve some of the burden and stress of military life.
MFVSOA partners with national nonprofits that can meet or exceed a standard of excellence for public accountability. Each charity that partners with us submits its program and financial documents for annual review and certification.
Since 1994, Military Family and Veterans Service Organizations of America has helped national nonprofits expand their reach and engage with individuals like you. Your donations will further the course of action required to ensure our service members, veterans, their families and survivors are not alone in their sacrifice to serve and protect: the constitution, our national security, our American way of life.
We pray that not another single man or woman will have to pay the ultimate price for freedom, but if they do, MFVSOA partners will be there to support their survivors with tragedy assistance, provide the surviving children with educational benefits and scholarships, and family financial aid.
We pray that the hardships and uncertainties of service will be few, but if not, we will be there with financial assistance, health & wellness programs, adaptive equipment, scholarships and community engagement programs. We pray that veterans will have a smooth transaction into civilian life without the worry of health, housing, or employment issues, but if not, we will be there too.
Although all our charity partners must have programs or services in at least 15 states or internationally, many of our partners are not household names. We are proud to work with nonprofits of any size and aim to provide a place where individuals can learn about the good work of lesser known organizations.
MFVSOA is committed to meeting the highest standards of public
accountability and fiscal responsibility.
We are governed by an all-volunteer Board of Directors who
generously give their time and talent.
