At MOAA, our mission begins with a simple, powerful belief: No one who is wearing or has ever worn the uniform should face life’s challenges alone.  

 

That commitment extends equally to their families, caregivers, and survivors, and it takes on a special meaning as we gather with our own friends and families on Thanksgiving and throughout the holiday season. Whether we’re defending service-earned benefits on Capitol Hill, delivering education and career resources nationwide, or providing community relief in your neighborhood, MOAA is here to serve the entire uniform services community.  

 

And we cannot do it without you.

As we enter the season of giving, I want to highlight how your generosity extends our reach through our charitable programs.  

 

Through The MOAA Foundation, we provide critical support for those navigating transitions, financial hardship, community outreach, and professional development. Every day, this work helps servicemembers and veterans regain stability and move forward with strength and dignity.  

 

Through the MOAA Scholarship Fund, we offer interest-free loans and grants to the children of uniformed service families pursuing higher education. It's one of the longest-running programs of its kind, and it continues to open doors for the next generation.

These charitable programs are a direct product of your support.  

 

In the coming weeks, we'll be launching our year-end campaign to grow this impact in 2026 and beyond. Some of you may receive emails seeking your support. If you're considering a tax-deductible gift before Dec. 31, know that your generosity will go toward serving those who've served us. I'm excited about what we can accomplish together in the year ahead.  

 

Thank you for standing with MOAA and our mission to Never Stop Serving.
