About Us
Charities for Vets is a project of the RAM Veterans Foundation, founded in 2022. We will publish our own federal tax returns when they are available.

We are committed to accuracy. If you represent a charitable organization that wishes to dispute our profile or provide additional information, contact us at [email protected].
The Power of the Multiplier
When we spend money to educate Americans, our efforts generate a significant shift in giving patterns: Poorly rated veterans charities take in less, and highly rated organizations collect more. A dollar spent on our campaigns can redirect 5, 10, 20 or even 30 dollars to efficient organizations, taking away funding from the most wasteful charities. That makes a huge difference in the lives of veterans and their families.
How We Reach Donors
Our research produces specialized reports with regular updates; we promote those reports to the public through the media. We offer our findings through press releases, online videos, op-eds, social media, and direct outreach to reporters and TV producers.
The latest information is available on our website, CharitiesForVets.org. We raise awareness of our findings by purchasing advertising in national newspapers, and on cable TV and talk radio. We intensify our paid media outreach during peak holiday seasons when charitable giving tends to increase.
