Overview
Mission
America supporting americans (asa) is a non-profit organization whose mission is to link together military units that are based on united states soil or deployed world-wide with civilian groups and communities that wish to express their support of these young men and women serving in the armed forces. Our goal is two-fold. First, to provide those willing to put themselves in harm's way defending our country with the respect, care and support they need, and secondly, to strengthen the civilian-military bond by both increasing civilian understanding of the military experience and by providing service men and women with the opportunity to become directly invoiced with the residents of a community committed to their support.
What it reported doing in 2024
Various events where asa has facilitated adoption of many units by towns and cities across the country. Through those adoptions, both soldiers and civilians are discovering the unique and critical link that exists between men and women of our armed services and american citizens they are charged to protect in time of both war and peace. This strong connection has proved dynamically and richly rewarding to all involved. Asa has over the years learned that the greatest benefit is gained when the adoption remains active whether the unit is at home or deployed abroad. Each of these situations involve both the city and the unit in different kinds of adoptive activities. Units deployed abroad count on letters and care packages from adoptive cities to boost morale and help them feel connected to home.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Other-operating. 64% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
