Donate to a Non-Profit Serving Military and Veteran Families
The San Diego Military and Veteran Non-Profit Directory is a resource for donors desiring to be more impactful with their giving to the needs of military service members, both active duty and veteran, and their families.
As a program of Rancho Santa Fe Foundation, the The Patriots Connection has significant expertise in philanthropy and experience in partnering with organizations that best serve the military community. Our database of pre-vetted non-profit organizations makes it easy for you to put your vision for addressing these needs into action that changes lives.
