United Service Organizations (USO)

The United Service Organizations (USO) has a mission of lifting the spirits of America's troops and their families. They operate an extensive range of programs at over 150 centers in 27 countries, and each year at hundreds of entertainment events. Thousands of USO volunteers do everything possible to provide a home away from home for our troops and to keep them connected to the families they left behind.

The USO makes sure help goes to those who need it the most: troops serving in combat, their families, our wounded warriors and their families, and families of our fallen heroes.

As a nonprofit, non-political organization, the USO is now, and always will be, about our troops. Wherever and whenever they go, the USO will be there, until every one comes home.

Tips on Donating to a Charity

Make a plan! Decide which charities will be efficient when utilizing your donation. A high percentage of the money raised should going to help the cause, and not being spent on the administration of the charity. If the amount is not published, then ask about their expense ratio before you donate to them. Choose a cause that resonates with your values and personality.

Be clever! Before you donate to a charity, you should always verify their status with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and check their record at the Better Business Bureau (BBB).
