Our Military Kids® is a national 501(c)(3) nonprofit offering extracurricular activity grants to children and teens of deployed National Guard, deployed Reserve, or post-9/11 combat wounded, ill, or injured Veterans in treatment. OMK activity grants build the children's self-confidence, enhance family wellness, and strengthen a shared sense of community.
Every year Our Military Kids distributes an Annual Survey to grant recipient families to assess program impacts. This year's 5-Year Impact Report highlights child and family outcomes from 2019-2024, with core outcome metrics and outcomes consistent across the last five years of data collection. As a result of their child(ren)'s activity grant(s), families surveyed from 2019-2024 saw improvement in:
Ability to Afford the Child's Chosen Activity (Combat Injured Program)
Overall Family Wellbeing (Combat Injured Program)
Service Member's Morale (Deployed Program)
Connection to Military Community (Deployed Program)
