Spirit of America 2024 Annual Report
The Promise of a Free and Better Life
Spirit of America is a privately funded nonprofit that unites the American people with US troops and diplomats in common cause: to defend freedom, strengthen security, and save and improve lives.
We have pioneered a new category of national security philanthropy — one that has a direct, asymmetric operational impact on the fight to defend the free world.
We start by working with US troops and diplomats to identify places where America’s help is needed most. We ask what they are trying to accomplish and how we can help. We then deliver private philanthropic assistance with flexibility and speed through US troops and our network of local partners. We support the success of their missions similar to how venture capitalists support the success of entrepreneurs. And it all happens with support from Americans like you.
“America’s most extraordinary power is the spirit, compassion, and generosity of the American people. That power is embodied in Spirit of America.”
— Admiral Gary Roughead, US Navy, Retired
2024 Impact
Since our founding in 2003, we have implemented over 1,600 projects in 114 countries to support America’s national security. Together, we have made an impact on troops, diplomats, and local populations in the world’s toughest places — defending freedom, preventing conflict, and saving lives.
In 2024, our team worked alongside US troops and diplomats and provided private assistance in 21 countries, impacting more than 10 million people.
