Puget Sound Area
Donations
Making a donation to the USO Puget Sound is a direct and personal way to express your gratitude toward America’s military members and their families. It is direct, in that our services impact the quality of life for soldiers and their families, and personal, because the work we do helps to boost morale and guarantees that every soldier knows how grateful Americans are for their service and sacrifice.
As a private, nonprofit 501 (c)(3) organization, we do not receive federal funding, but rely solely on the generosity of individuals, businesses, and local veterans andcivic organizations. Here are ways you can donate:
Charitable payroll deductions: Donations to the USO Puget Sound Area can be deducted from your payroll either directly through your company, or through United Way or the Combined Federal Campaign (CFC). Please reference the following identification numbers when donating through the United Way or CFC:

You must have owned the asset, such as corporate or mutual fund stock, for at least 12 months, in order to receive a charitable deduction from the IRS. You should always check with your own tax advisor before making a gift of stock or securities.

Sponsor a “Star” at our USO Sea-Tac Center: “The RADM Herb & Shirley Bridge Gallery of Stars” is an opportunity for you to commemorate America’s men and woman in uniform. Located in our USO Center at Seattle-International Airport, the Gallery of Stars is a permanent wall display that allows you to engrave a special message or tribute of your choice on a wooden star.
