Operation Homefront, Inc (OH) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization formed in February 2002. It was developed to support the families of deployed service members immediately following 9/11. Operation Homefront is headquartered in San Antonio, Texas, and has evolved into a major nonprofit. The organization currently provides services to military families across the nation with 25 chapters. The majority of their clients are the lowest-paid service members, the E-1 through E-6 enlisted ranks. The target population is American military personnel and/or their families who have unmet needs due to financial hardship, death, injury, or physical or mental detriment as a result of service in Iraq or Afghanistan.
OH provides direct services to alleviate a military family’s or individual’s actual/complete emergency financial burden, as well as counseling and/or recovery support. Emergency financial assistance is in the form of checks paid directly to mortgage lenders, auto mechanics, contractors, hospitals, doctors, dentists and other providers.
95 cents of every dollar donated to OH directly supports those in need, a remarkably high percentage. OH has the highest rating – four stars – for seven straight years from Charity Navigator. Only two percent of the charities rated by Charity Navigator have received at least seven consecutive four-star evaluations.
Our beneficiary will be the Nevada chapter Operation Homefront Nevada (OHN) which was formed in 2007.
