  • 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 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. Since 2003, USA Cares has responded to over 23,000 requests for assistance with more than $7,200,000 in direct support grants.

    USA Cares is a Kentucky based 501(c)3 non-profit, charitable organization 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.

    Low Overhead/High Efficiency: Typically more than 80% of all contributions received from donations and grants go to support service members and their families.

  • Our Assistance Programs

    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.

    Housing Assistance: USA Cares has saved over 1,100 privately owned or rented homes and kept more than 2,200 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.

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