Spirit of America’s mission is to engage citizens in preserving the promise of a free and better life.
About us
Spirit of America is a nonprofit founded in 2003 to engage citizens in preserving the promise of a free and better life. We start by working with US troops and diplomats to identify places where America’s help is needed most. We deliver assistance with flexibility and speed through US troops and our global network of partners. Together, we have protected citizen soldiers defending their freedom in Ukraine. We have empowered Taiwanese volunteers to strengthen their democracy. We have brought hope to communities impacted by terrorism and conflict in Syria, Iraq, Armenia, and Mozambique. And it all happens with support from citizens like you.
