The Gary Sinise Foundation is a charity and veterans service organization that offers a variety of programs, services and events for wounded veterans of the military. It operates as a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization.[1] Among its programs is the construction of specially adapted smart homes for severely wounded veterans that are provided mortgage-free.[2] From 2011 to 2021 the Gary Sinise Foundation has raised over $300 million for wounded veterans, first responders, and their families.[3]
Founded in 2011 by actor Gary Sinise, the foundation serves all branches of the military at U.S. installations domestically and abroad.[4]
To date, the Gary Sinise Foundation has built 81 specially adapted smart homes[5] for severely wounded heroes, served more than 1,000,000 meals to America's defenders across the country, and about 500 support concerts for our troops, sponsored by the foundation.[6]
