About us

The Coalition to Salute America’s Heroes is a nonprofit organization created in 2004 to help troops severely wounded in Iraq or Afghanistan.

Already the Coalition’s generous donors have satisfied more than 12,400 requests for emergency financial aid and other assistance, providing our wounded heroes with over $22 million in aid and other support services.

The Coalition has earned the support of more than 800,000 patriotic Americans, with new ones being welcomed into our “family” each week.

The Coalition meets the fundraising standards of major charity oversight groups, and in 2007 it received a “Best in America” seal of approval from the Independent Charities of America.

The Coalition organizes a variety of programs including:

Emergency Financial Assistance for severely wounded troops unable to afford groceries, clothes and other necessities, as well as those facing auto repossessions, utility cutoffs and other financial disasters.

Wounded Troops Foreclosure Fund: Hundreds of burned, paralyzed or brain-damaged soldiers are in danger of losing their homes. These veterans are caught up in the nationwide foreclosure crisis, made worse by the immense financial strain they face because of their severe wounds. The Coalition has already made nearly 200 grants to wounded troops to help give thee heroes a place to lay their heads.

Annual Road to Recovery Conferences: More than 300 disabled troops and their families have attended these unique, all-expense-paid educational events. Along with their spouses and children, wounded servicemen and women learn how to cope with their injuries, receive counseling and attend educational seminars. Several have even landed jobs at the event’s Career Fair.

Our Mission

The Coalition to Salute America's Heroes provides emergency financial aid and other assistance to troops who have been severely wounded in Iraq or Afghanistan.

The Coalition focuses on helping servicemen and women with the most debilitating injuries, such as those who have been severely burned, blinded, paralyzed or brain-damaged.

Because so many of our wounded heroes will need expensive, long-term care, we're also trying to educate the public - and our elected officials - about the importance of getting the government to fulfill its obligations to our wounded troops and their families.

Please join us in helping these severely wounded troops and their families by making a donation now.
