About With Honor Action
With Honor Action Inc’s largest recent grant went to Principled Veterans Fund: $2,000,000 in 2025 to support a section 527 political organization making independent expenditures for principled bipartisan veterans running for public office. That single award captures the funder’s core purpose: backing veterans who enter politics, then helping them build leverage in a partisan environment. The foundation’s work sits at the intersection of veteran representation, bipartisan governance, and public policy, with a visible emphasis on organizations that support elected leadership, civic service, and national security issues. The grant list shows a mix of major political support and smaller general-support awards to civic, policy, and veteran organizations. Americans 4 Security Inc received $510,000 in 2025 for general support, a far smaller but still substantial commitment. Other awards reached groups connected to public policy and veteran leadership, including the International Republican Institute, Independent Veterans of America Action, and the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies Inc. Across the record, the foundation appears to prioritize institutions and organizations that align with principled veteran engagement in public life rather than direct individual giving.
What With Honor Action Funds
A central theme is veteran political leadership. In 2025, With Honor Action Inc gave $2,000,000 to Principled Veterans Fund for independent expenditures supporting principled bipartisan veterans running for public office. That is the clearest sign that candidate support is a core part of the foundation’s portfolio. Public policy and civic institutions are another focus. The foundation gave $30,000 to the International Republican Institute in 2025 for general support and $25,000 to the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies Inc for general support, showing interest in policy-oriented organizations. Veteran and military-family service also appears in smaller awards. Blue Star Families Inc received $10,101 in 2025 for general support, while The American Legion received $20,000 in 2024 and $15,000 in 2025. These grants point to support for veterans’ organizations and related civic networks.
How With Honor Action Gives
Typical grants are tightly clustered: p25 is $10,000, median is $10,000, and p75 is $15,000. The record also includes a few much larger awards, which create a long right tail above that core pattern. The foundation is a Pure DAF Provider, and it does not fund individuals or make program-related investments. The grant history suggests repeated support for some recipients across multiple years. The John F Kennedy Library Foundation appears in 2023, 2024, and 2025; City Year Inc also appears in 2023, 2024, and 2025. Several other grantees recur within the recent record, which points to ongoing relationships rather than one-off grants.
