Mission & Focus Areas
AUSA’s stated mission is to support soldiers, their families and Army civilians; provide a voice for the Army; and honor those who have served. It says it educates the people it serves, informs members, Congress and the public about issues affecting the Army, and connects the Army with industry partners, associations and other supporters.
Its 2026 focus areas include connecting communities with the Army through education, information and regional and chapter activities; strengthening Army warfighting through symposia, professional programs and publications; and building partnerships with allies, industry and academia. AUSA also describes programs supporting Army families and veterans, professional development, and scholarships.
The 2025 grants show support for a range of military-related organizations and activities. For example, Fisher House Foundation describes its mission as providing financial assistance to service members, veterans and their families, and constructing and furnishing facilities for families visiting military personnel. The Association of the Graduates of the United States Military Academy says it furthers the ideals and welfare of the Academy and serves its graduates. USA Patriots Veteran Athletics describes its mission as enhancing the health and welfare of wounded warrior amputees. Other 2025 recipients included a scholarship foundation serving military families and an organization that helps military personnel fulfill personal dreams; those descriptions are the recipient organizations’ own stated missions.
Grantmaking
In filing year 2025, AUSA reported 18 grants totaling $1,366,182. Grant amounts ranged from $6,000 to $561,044, with a median of $16,000.
