Organizations & Partners
We don’t duplicate your mission. We amplify it.
Across the country and around the world, organizations, nonprofits, coalitions, agencies, foundations, installation programs, and community networks are already doing meaningful work to support military children and families.
The Military Child World Expo exists to bring that work into one visible, unified cultural space, so the world can see it, support it, and understand its value.
-
We do not replace your programming.
-
We do not take ownership of your impact.
-
We do not ask you to start over.
-
We lift, connect, showcase, and strengthen what already exists.
This is the home where your work is seen.
