Overview

Mission

The Orange Heart Medal Foundations mission and purpose is to bring recognition for Veterans who served in the Vietnam War and who were affected as defined by the Veterans Administration by exposure to Agent Orange a herbicide and defoliant chemical.

What it reported doing in 2025

The Foundations primary goal is to raise awareness and advocate for recognizing dioxin and Agent Orange as chemical warfare agents. This involves educational initiatives and collaborating with legislators to pass laws acknowledging the impact of these toxic substances. Presently twenty states recognize Agent Orange as chemical warfare. By obtaining recognition for Agent Orange victims from the Vietnam War the Foundation assists affected veterans in accessing healthcare and disability benefits. The ultimate objective is to honor Vietnam Veterans and their families ensuring that their sacrifices are remembered and appreciated by future generations.

The verdict

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and program spending has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work.
