Military suicide has claimed more lives than major wars like World War I, Vietnam, and the Global War on Terror.

Consider making your donation a monthly gift and joining The Battalion. Your first month's gift will count toward the May match.

Donation FAQs

The veteran suicide rate is 72% higher than the national average. We're here to change that.

Soldier Suicide is the only national nonprofit focused solely on solving the issue of suicide among U.S. veterans and service members. We have an aggressive goal to reduce the military suicide rate by 40% no later than 2030. With your support, we can create a new future where suicide is no longer an expected outcome of the military experience. Thanks to a generous match from Men’s Wearhouse, every dollar you donate by May 31 will be matched up to $100,000.

"There is a need that we're filling right now, a very serious need...and lives are at stake."
