See Schedule O Spirit of America's mission is to engage citizens in preserving the promise of a free and better life. We are a privately funded nonprofit that unites the American people with our troops and diplomats in common cause: to defend freedom, strengthen security, and save and improve lives. We work with US troops and diplomats to identify where America's help is needed most, then deliver assistance with flexibility and speed. We harness the power of the American people and private philanthropy to fill the gaps between what is needed and what government can do.
