As a 501 (C)(3) non-profit organization, the USO has relied on the generosity of corporations and foundations for more than 67 years. Corporate support through sponsorship, cause-marketing initiatives and philanthropic donations is vital to advancing the mission of the USO.
The USO has positioned itself as an effective marketing partner with companies concerned with how best to support our military service men and women and their families. The USO realizes that, without this vital support, many of its programs and services designed to enhance the lives of our military personnel would cease to exist. And, to acknowledge this support, the USO recognizes corporate and foundation generosity through worldwide recognition programs and marketing opportunities.
The USO welcomes your company as a partner in its effort to support the morale and well-being of American service members and their families. If you would like to receive more information about how your organization might partner with the USO, please contact our Coordinator, Corporate Alliances. We look forward to working in partnership with you.
