Veteran charity supporting current, past, and fallen U.S. military veterans

About Nation of Patriots^TM

Nation of Patriots™ is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization. We work on a national level to raise awareness for military issues and to gather financial support for the physical, emotional, and economic misfortune that our disabled veterans and their families live with every day.

We raise money through our national network and distribute it directly to the families we strive to support. We give 100% of all donations received directly to the veterans we strive to help. We work with VA facilities and many other veteran organizations to help us locate and select the veteran families based on specific criteria.

Our goal is to unite Americans beneath the Flag and rally them behind the brave men and women who have served our country’s Armed Forces, both past and present. These individuals have volunteered their lives in the preservation, protection and future of The United States and all of its citizens. For this we are grateful.

Nonprofit organization for American veterans

Our History

Nation of Patriots™ was formed in 2008 and achieved our exempt status in early 2009. We launched the very first Patriot Tour™ in 2009. Our humble start has led to a huge following across the country and we continue to work on this upward growth. From the beginning, this organization has been fueled by the highest level of respect for America’s military. Our focus has been and always will be this: to provide financial support to those who have served in our Armed Forces and their families.

Meet the Team

Our board of directors and executive committee are comprised of a handful of hard working, dedicated and patriotic folks. Each provides their time on a 100% volunteer basis while balancing the responsibilities and stress of everyday life with their commitment to the growth and success of the Nation of Patriots^TM. For their service to our nation we believe it is our civic duty to make sure that any veteran that needs help, damn sure gets it. We built this organization to be that catalyst between veterans in need and freedom-loving Americans.
