Operation USA supports health and education programs in order to help children and families at home and abroad recover from disasters and endemic poverty. Every day, we strive to meet the needs of under-served and overlooked populations. We place a special focus on youth development programs so that future generations may have the tools they need to create meaningful change in their own communities and lives. Working with partners around the world, we empower communities to recover, build resiliency and thrive in the face of pervasive obstacles during a time of unprecedented global need.

Operation USA works with individual donors, corporate partners, fellow nonprofits and NGOs, and local community organizations in order to provide aid as quickly and as efficiently as possible in the face of disaster. We deliver both cash grants, to support the immediate purchase of supplies and time-sensitive repairs, and in-kind materials, shipped from partners in the US and in countries around the world. Going beyond the immediate relief phase, we commit to recovery in disaster-affected communities and support long-term projects that rebuild lives and livelihoods. We focus those long-term efforts on the reconstruction of schools and clinics, the development of youth empowerment and skill building programs, and the delivery of medical supplies and equipment to hospitals around the world—all supporting health and educational recovery. Further, Operation USA prides itself on maintaining low overhead costs by investing our donations directly in programs--without spending money on marketing and fundraising--and sourcing jobs and materials locally in the communities in which we work.

Operation USA has a dedicated staff and forty years of experience in disaster relief, resulting in a broad network of partners through which aid is delivered and distributed quickly, efficiently and effectively.

Operation USA measures success by tracking grant and material distributions and gauging their impact.

Operation USA has delivered more than $400 million in aid to 100 countries over 40 years. We will continue this work in as many places we are able for as long as we are able.
