US Troop Support Foundation !

Supporting our Heroes from home, so they can win the War overseas!

Last updated May 16th, 2012

Welcome to a New Year !
We are thrilled to see troops coming home from Iraq. We are sad to see many more deploy out to Africa, Afghanistan and other parts of the Middle East. Please do not think they do not need our support. They still need to know we care and they are still in combat areas fighting for freedom!

Unfortunately with the new year brings new postage rates. As of Jan 22nd a lg flate rate box will cost $13.45 to mail to all FPO and APO addresses.

We update our web site often. Please visit often for the most current information, pictures, letters, and more!

US Troop Support Foundation has chapters in both Kansas City, Mo and Houston, Texas metro areas.

US Troop Support Foundation is a non profit, non political Grass roots 501 (c) (3) foundation.

Also known as USTSF, US Troop Support Foundation was started in Jan 2003 by the parents of a young Marine deploying. Initially a small group of friends and family, then to a parented foundation, then in 2006 to a non profit public foundation standing on its own.

US Troop Support Foundation is an all volunteer foundation. No one gets paid. USTSF keeps more than 99% going to the program, supporting the troops!

USTSF supports all branches and is happy to add any military person serving in a combat area to our list.
All military persons information is kept Private and confidential. Only Our Directors and approved volunteers have access.

date to return home.

As of Jan 2009 : We will no longer be listed with America Supports You, a DOD site.

America Supports You was under investigation and found to have misaprropriated more than 9 million dollars in funds. WE DO NOT WANT TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH ANYONE that would do that to our Troops! Please copy and paste the following link and read the news article on this.

We tried for 6 months to contact someone, anyone , at ASY to see what was going on and could get no contact. More than 6 months later they reorganized and contacted us. This is not satisfactory ! WE CHOSE TO DROP OFF THEIR LIST !

Unfortunately we do NOT have educational grants or assistance available.

We are listed on KC BBB web site. We meet all but one standard of the BBB. Our Accounting is done by a CPA ( outside of our volunteers) who donates his time. The BBB also requires an independent audit. These cost about $4000 and up. We choose to use that money on our troops.
We are a public foundation and our 990 is open to the public and posted online below! We keep the last 2 years posted here. We will also gladly provide a hard copy to anyone who asks , free of charge !

Our 2011 Form 990 should be available no later than May 31st, 2012 online below!
We are still keeping more than 99% going to the Troops!
