USO facilities in the United States are independently funded. No funds for their operations come from the World Headquarters in Washington D.C. Each local USO has its own charter area and must find its own income streams.

The local USO office must rely on corporate and individual donations or in-kind contributions to pay for its operating and program expenses. The USO is therefore continually by letter and personal contact, seeking out civic minded people and corporations who are willing to give to this honorable institution whose only goal is to make life better for the American Armed Forces and their families.

USO is NOT a government agency and does not receive federal government funding.

USO is a Non-Profit 501(c)3 Organization. Donations are tax deductible.

USO of Central Ohio is accredited by the Ohio Better Business Bureau and 89% of all funds received go towards providing direct services to members of the military.
