Stop Soldier Suicide is the only national nonprofit focused solely on solving the issue of suicide among U.S. veterans and service members. We have an aggressive goal to reduce the military suicide rate by 40% no later than 2030.
Every year, 6,000 veterans and service members die by suicide, leaving behind a ripple effect that devastates over 90,000 family and community members. It’s a heartbreaking crisis—but your generosity can make a life-saving difference.
