The Educational Foundation is sponsored by USAA, and while both organizations serve the military community, the Foundation acts as a separate organization. It has oversight from an independent board of leaders that serve the military and their families, regardless of USAA membership.

Our Foundation does not make grants, rather it serves its philanthropic mission by providing free financial education materials tailored to the military community. To learn more about our partners, check out our alliances.
