20 Years. One Mission. Make a Difference!
Welcome,
For more than 20 years, the United Relief Foundation has made meaningful and lasting differences in the lives of those we have been able to strengthen and uplift, thanks to the generosity of our volunteers, donors, and dedicated United in Service partners and patrons.
The United Relief Foundation is not a grant-making organization. Instead, it fulfills its founding —“One Mission. Make a Difference.”— through two distinct forms of engagements:
- Boots-on-the-Ground contact: Providing practical assistance to individual veterans in need.
- United in Service collaborations: Identifying and supporting like-minded 501(c)(3) veteran-serving organizations.
Throughout the decades ahead, the United Relief Foundation will continue to quietly and humbly advance our “One Mission. Make a Difference.” commitment in service to veterans in need. Building upon years of responding with lifelines of care, comfort, and compassion, we will place increasing emphasis on addressing housing-related challenges that threaten a veteran’s stability, dignity, self-reliance, and future opportunities.
United in Service for Those Who Served Our Nation.

Making a Difference by Being the Difference!
The United Relief Foundation is comprised of non-compensated officers, board members, and veteran advisors who are united in service with volunteers, partners, and patrons dedicated to performing good deeds that make meaningful, lasting differences in the lives of the men and women who have served in the United States Armed Forces.
For the most part, with the exception of an appearance on Good Morning America, occasional media attention, and public accolades, the United Relief Foundation has quietly and humbly gone about Making a Difference by Being the Difference since its initial efforts in 2005 and every year since its formal establishment in 2006.

The Foundation’s Donate Your Property with Purpose Effort makes donating unneeded or unwanted property more practical for real estate owners while providing a purposeful way to amplify their charitable impact.
The above photograph holds particular sentimental value, as the Coalition of Veteran Organizations participated in the United Relief Foundation’s first housing project.
