This isn’t your typical fundraiser. We don’t want your money—we want your attention. We want your heart. We want your help identifying the veterans, first responders, and law enforcement officers who are silently struggling with PTSD, addiction, trauma, or hopelessness.
Because this campaign isn’t about how much you give. It’s about who you give us the chance to find.
Your one cent is your vote for hope. Your nomination is your act of love. Together, we’ll raise one million dollars one penny at a time—and use that reach to identify heroes who need help but haven’t yet asked for it.
1. Donate exactly $0.01 (one penny)
2. Fill out the short form after you donate
3. Nominate a veteran, first responder, or law enforcement officer in need
4. We reach out, offer support, and potentially change a life
Many heroes suffer in silence. They fight battles long after coming home. The Power of a Penny campaign is about showing them that someone still sees them—and wants to help.
By donating a single cent, you’re saying: 'You are not forgotten. Help is on the way.'
Veterans, police officers, EMTs, and firefighters need our support. Let's show them they’re not alone.
We want to reach $1,000,000 — raised one penny at a time!
No large donations. No exceptions. One cent and one name that deserves another shot at life.
