Our Commitment
5% of Every Subscription Goes Back to the Military Community
When this site earns, the community earns. Not a pledge we made up for marketing — it's baked into the numbers.
How It Works
Subscriptions come in
Every annual subscription fee is tracked. 5% of the gross amount is allocated to the giving pool from day one.
It builds all year
The pool grows throughout the year. This section will show a live counter once subscriptions launch — for now it shows the current total: $0.
One donation in December
At the end of each calendar year, the full pooled amount is donated to that year's recipient organization in one lump sum. The receipt is posted publicly here.
To Be Announced
Subscriptions are not yet live. When they launch, this section will show the selected organization for the year, the running total pledged, and the donation receipt once it's made.
The Three Organizations
One org is selected each year. Rotating keeps the giving fresh and serves different parts of the military community over time.
AER
Army Emergency Relief
No-interest loans and grants to Army soldiers and families facing financial emergencies.
Car repairs. Rent. Emergency travel home. AER steps in when soldiers run out of options — not with strings attached, but with no-interest loans and outright grants. Founded in 1942, they helped over 41,000 soldiers in 2023 alone. If this site's users are primarily Army, AER is the most direct path back to them.
MWR Foundation
Morale, Welfare & Recreation Foundation
Funds quality-of-life programs on military installations that government budgets can't fully cover.
Youth sports leagues. Recreation centers. Childcare subsidies. Community events. These are the programs that make a duty station feel like home instead of just a place you're stationed. The MWR Foundation funds what the standard budget misses, and it serves every branch — not just Army.
BOSS
Better Opportunities for Single Soldiers
Social, recreational, and community programs specifically for unaccompanied enlisted soldiers.
Young. Financially stretched. Living in the barracks with no family support network on base. BOSS exists for that soldier. Recreational programs, community service, and social events funded outside the standard Army budget — so junior enlisted who don't have a spouse or family on post have somewhere to go. The BOSS Foundation supports these chapters.
The Math at Different Scales
| Members | Annual Revenue | 5% Donated |
|---|---|---|
| 500 | ~$15,000 | ~$750 |
| 1,000 | ~$30,000 | ~$1,500 |
| 5,000 | ~$150,000 | ~$7,500 |
| 10,000 | ~$300,000 | ~$15,000 |
These numbers are honest. At launch, the donation will be small. That's okay — it grows with the community.
Our Commitment to Transparency
The donation receipt will be posted on this page within 30 days of each year-end donation — a public record anyone can verify.
The running total is derived directly from Stripe payment records — no manual counting, no rounding, no creative accounting.
The site owner (not a foundation, not the site as a legal entity) makes the donation and receives the 501(c)(3) tax receipt. This is a personal commitment, not a corporate one.
If the site ever shuts down, any remaining pooled amount from that year will be donated before closure. The community's share doesn't disappear with the site.
