Sponsors & Philanthropic Support

It is an investment  in:

Identity

Belonging

Caregiving leadership

Community continuity

Intergenerational legacy

 

This is not charity.This is heritage-building.

We don’t ask for sponsorship. We invite stewardship.

The Military Child World Expo is the cultural home of the military-connected child, past, present, and future.

 

We recognize that:

  • Children grow up carrying the legacy of service.

  • Families hold resilience, care, and identity together.

  • Communities play a critical role in belonging and stability.

 

Your support is not just financial.

Why Stewardship Matters

Military-connected youth move more than any child population in the nation.

 

They navigate:

  • Repeated school transitions

  • Emotional and family separation

  • Responsibility and caregiving roles

  • Rebuilding identity across cultures and countries

 

The Expo gives them a home to return to, every year.
Your support makes that home possible

We begin with conversation, not paperwork.

 

[ Schedule a Stewardship Dialogue ] “It’s a short conversation to understand your goals and values, and to discuss how your support may help strengthen youth leadership, belonging, and family resilience. It’s about alignment, not obligation.
