How is WAA different from other non-profits?

While many know us for placing wreaths in December, Wreaths Across America is a year-round mission that goes far beyond a single day of remembrance. Each $17 wreath sponsorship supports programs that honor veterans, teach future generations, and strengthen communities across the country.

Here’s how your support makes a difference:

• TEACH Program – Free lesson plans and service projects that help youth of all ages learn the value of service and sacrifice.
• Mobile Education Exhibit – A traveling museum and “Welcome Home” unit for Vietnam veterans, creating free, local events nationwide.
• National Museum & Gold Star Family House – Preserving and sharing stories of service, sacrifice and resilience in Columbia Falls, ME.
• Veteran Outreach Partnerships – Working with VSOs to connect veterans and families to resources, while amplifying their voices on issues that matter.
• Wreaths Across America Radio – A 24/7 “Voice for America’s Veterans,” blending music, interviews and educational programming that connects millions.
• Remembrance Tree Program – Families honor loved ones with replica dog tags placed on balsam trees, which later become part of veterans’ wreaths.
• Group Sponsorship Program – Since 2007, more than $28M has been given back to other nonprofits and civic groups through our $5 pay back sponsorship group program. When you sponsor a wreath, you’re supporting two causes at once.

WAA is about connection. The mission links communities, veterans, families, and future generations through simple, meaningful acts of remembrance. That’s what makes us different!
