Guiding Principles

We use our best-in-class survey methodology to listen to the community-level experiences of military- and Veteran-connected families.
We share our findings with civilian communities, military, and DOD leaders to empower change.
We partner with other military and Veteran service organizations to create a force multiplier around areas of need.
We act to create our own programs that improve the experiences and create more vibrant networks of support for military- and Veteran-connected families that have sacrificed so much for our country.

Core Values

Commitment: We are committed to strengthening military and Veteran families and providing resources and benefits that reach all types of need.
Family: We ensure families feel valued and recognized as vital members of their service communities. This campaign upholds our mission and empowers stakeholders to join us as partners in this work.
Impact: We are intentional in building programs, engagements, and partnerships that have a direct and positive impact on the experiences of military and Veteran families, and foster a sense of welcome and appreciation for the service of these families in the communities they call home.

"I work full time. I am a Black mother of two Black boys, and my husband is an active-duty officer. We will move again in less than a month to a new neighborhood, and I am more fearful now than ever about whether the neighborhood will accept my boys and my family."

History of United Military Families Campaign

Summer 2020: Community Pulse Check

In the summer of 2020, we conducted a community pulse check.

December 2020: Racial Equity and Inclusion Committee

In response to concerns, we convened a high-level committee of diverse senior leaders. These leaders helped shape the creation of our Racial Equity and Inclusion Initiative.

2021: Groundbreaking Survey

In 2021, we fielded a groundbreaking survey. We created an intentional space to listen to military families of color.

2022: Survey Results Released

We released the report of this survey in early 2022. It showed military service has promising benefits for service members of color. These benefits reach all types of needs, including education, health care, and finances. But, we learned that these families face unique challenges. Difficulties that undermine military readiness and retention persist. As we listened, we found opportunities for communities to support these military families.

Late 2022: Expanded Racial Equity & Inclusion Initiative - Campaign for Inclusion

In late 2022, we expanded the Racial Equity and Inclusion Initiative into the Campaign for Inclusion. We help families feel included in the communities where they live and serve. This campaign upholds our mission. And, it empowers stakeholders to come alongside us in this work.

2023: Building bridges to belonging

2024: Released results

2025: Campaign for Inclusion renamed United Military Families Campaign
