Why Spirit of America Matters

By channeling the power of the American people in support of US troops and diplomats, we help America and its ideals succeed.

For America to Succeed, We All Need to Lead

America’s values and leadership in the world have led to unprecedented security, prosperity, and freedom. But today, freedom and democracy are at grave risk. Government alone cannot prevail against the threats we face from authoritarian regimes and terrorist groups aiming to destabilize and ultimately destroy free societies. For America to succeed, it needs the participation, capabilities, and leadership of everyday Americans.

Spirit of America unites people like you with US troops and diplomats to promote and defend the values America was built on. For 20 years, we’ve channeled the power of the American people to save lives, protect US troops, and defend freedom in the world’s toughest places. See our active work here.

IMPACT

Together, we are America at its best

We can achieve outsized impact because of our unique agreement with the Department of Defense that allows US troops to collaborate with our teams, receive our assistance, and help deliver vital aid at scale. Because we are 100% privately funded, we are fast, flexible, and entrepreneurial. We can help US troops and diplomats solve problems in ways government can’t. See examples of our impact here.

The origin of Spirit of America

Spirit of America’s founder and CEO Jim Hake shares how the growth of private action for public good evolved from Afghanistan in 2003 to more than 110 countries today.
