How To Donate ...
Give2TheTroops® is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt, non-profit corporation, funded by private donations and staffed by volunteers.
Donations to Give2TheTroops are tax deductible, however donors should consult their independent tax advisors to appropriately determine and verify all charitable contribution deductions.
As we're managed by volunteers, please allow 6-8 weeks for a receipt of your donation.
Monetary donations given to Give2TheTroops are used to pay for postage to mail the care packages and/or to purchase special items requested by our deployed troops.
Approximately 90% of all monetary donations go to our troops. We have no paid Board Members and the majority of our administrative needs are funded by private donors. We are charged a small fee to accept online donations, so checks are preferred.
