Operation Homefront

Based on its 2023 tax return, Operation Homefront used joint cost accounting for 11 percent of its $43 million budget. While legal, this accounting method can disguise overhead costs as program spending. We recommend that no more than 5 percent of a budget be allocated to joint cost accounting.

We do not recommend giving to Operation Homefront. See our lists of Highly Recommended Charities and Recommended Charities for alternatives.

Operation Homefront provides critical financial assistance, transitional and permanent housing, and family support services to prevent short-term needs from turning into chronic, long-term struggles.
