United We Stand Comprehensive Campaign
Our comprehensive campaign, United We Stand (UWS), aimed to make a real difference by securing stable futures for America's military families now and for years to come.
GOAL EXCEEDED
Operation Homefront launched United We Stand, our ambitious three-year comprehensive campaign, in April of 2022, aiming to raise $100 million to strengthen ongoing operations and build three funds dedicated to program growth, a ready reserve, and innovation. We reached our goal nearly 16 months early, as the major fundraising effort resonated with our entire donor community. Building upon that momentum, and because of your unwavering support of this vital initiative, we’ve raised more than $138 million. As we prepare to conclude the campaign in April of 2025, we are profoundly grateful for your extraordinary generosity and commitment to serve America’s military families for years to come.
$138 MILLION
TOTAL RAISED FOR MILITARY FAMILIES
The Bob & Dolores Hope Foundation was a key funder at launch, igniting interest in the campaign with their Million Dollar Match Challenge, met within six months, securing $1.1 million through more than 15,500 gifts. In addition, we received our biggest gift, a $20 million donation from American philanthropist and novelist MacKenzie Scott, validating our great work and strengthening our foundation for future growth. They were joined by numerous corporate, foundation, and individual investors who share our belief that we must be there for military families in their time of need after all they have done for us in our nation’s time of need.
