With more than 1.2 million members, Disabled American Veterans is an organization
of disabled veterans who are focused on building better lives for disabled veterans
and their families. A generous grant from the DAV’s Charitable Service Trust helps
our shared mission of bringing hope to forgotten and suffering families through
the healing power of art. In so doing, the DAV joins us in extending its support
beyond America’s disabled veterans to the families of American military who have
died in active service since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.

Project Compassion’s first benefactor learned of Project Compassion through a small
local news article in 2003. Since then, this visionary global humanitarian foundation
has funded the material cost of artist supplies, Web development, core public information
collateral and the cost of providing it to the armed services and next of kin, and
temporary supplemental funding for administrative support.

At Brotherhood Of The Badge International we collect surplus police equipment (such
as ballistic vests and helmets) from police departments around the country and deliver
it to US military authorities in Iraq and Afghanistan. They then provide this vital
personal protection equipment to the civilian police personnel. Brotherhood of the
Badge International has a singular goal of assisting our brother peace officers
worldwide with equipment and the necessary tools required to stand fast, and be
that wire that separates the wolves from the sheep.

We are grateful for the kind contributions from our fellow Americans.

For every $25.00 donation
made, you can sponsor – in part – a painting of a soldier.
Your name will be attached to a card as a sponsor of that painting and will accompany
the portrait when it is sent home to the soldiers family.

The United States Department of Defense approved Project Compassion as an official
nonprofit humanitarian partner in May, 2005 after a rigorous application and legal
review process. All of the armed services work with us to ensure that the next of
kin of active service casualties quickly receive information on how to requesst
a Project Compassion portrait. Project Compassion has briefed the Joint Chiefs of
Staff, top Army generals, Air Force casualty seminars, and other military personnel
to offer unique positive support in our shared service to families of the fallen.
