What We Are 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 focused on three main areas:

- Removing the financial barriers that prevent veterans from receiving treatment for Post-Traumatic Stress and Traumatic Brain Injury.  This program is saving the lives of veterans and restoring families

- Removing the financial barriers that prevent veterans from securing employment

- Providing emergency financial assistance to veterans and active duty service members who sustain a significant reduction in pay because of their service or recent

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

Why We Are Different

Grants not Loans: USA Cares provides grants to solve problems not loans to prolong them.

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

Leveraging Other Assistance: USA Cares mobilizes other organizations to join in providing assistance thus maximizing the impact of every donation.
