Your donation to ThanksUSA will help our organization grow and support the mission of providing scholarships to military families.
The 2016-17 Kovner Foundation Challenge Grant was a huge success. With the generous support of individual donors like you, ThanksUSA raised $314,445, ALL of which will be matched by The Kovner Foundation.
 
How did your support help ThanksUSA and military families?
  • The Kovner Foundation will donate an additional $314,445 to ThanksUSA to help our organization grow and support our mission of providing post-secondary, need-based scholarships to military families. This brings the grand total raised to $628,890!
  • In 2017, ThanksUSA received more than 1,800 scholarship applications. Each year, ThanksUSA is unable to award scholarships to hundreds of these deserving applicants due to lack of funding. Your donation was part of a major fundraising campaign that is allowing ThanksUSA to do much more.
  • ThanksUSA welcomed many new supporters, allowing us to grow our donor base and spread the word about this critical need for military families.
  • While a $3,000 scholarship may not sound like a lot given what we know about tuition costs, these grants often enable our ThanksUSA scholars to drop a part-time job and focus on studying; to pay for travel expenses, books and fees; or to close the gap between affording and not affording a more expensive school.
And, if you were not able to take part in the Challenge Grant this year, it's not too late. The Kovner Foundation has generously issued a second challenge grant that will extend through June 30, 2018, with a commitment to match up to an additional $400,000! We are excited about this amazing opportunity to further expand our support of military spouses and kids.
