Veterans Charities Questions

We'd like to thank you for your interest in investigating the financial efficiency of various veterans charities. We've received a number of inquiries from you, and we want to assure you that we will answer them. Each one requires us to do a certain amount of research, so we may not answer your inquiry as quickly as we'd like to, but rest assured the results of our research will be published here as soon as possible.

Before you submit another charity for investigation, please be sure to click the link below and check to see if we've already reported on the charity in which you are interested. If you don't find it listed, please submit your inquiry with the name of the charity in the title box. If we've already reported on the charity you ask about, we'll simply delete the redundant request.

Thank you for your patience, and for you interest in ensuring that your contributions are going to veterans charities that will use the funds to actually assist our nation's veterans.
