Welcome

Military Spouses for Change (MSC) is a non-profit, non-partisan membership organization created to promote the rights, interests, and needs of service members, veterans, wounded warriors, and military families by educating the public and empowering military spouses.

"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."

~Margaret Mead

MSC was created by the spouses of active duty service members who believe that political awareness and social action are two powerful ways in which we can support our troops and honor our veterans.

Specifically, we believe that an informed and involved military spouse community could significantly influence existing and future military- and veteran-related policies, resulting in improved support services and the responsible use of military resources.

MSC is currently focusing on three action areas:

  1. Case Management: MSC acts as a conduit between service members, veterans, and/or families and organizations (both public and private) that may be able to help them in times of crisis or need. If we cannot find an organization that can meaningfully assist them or resolve the matter, we will intervene and advocate for them, ourselves.

    Unfortunately, due to the high volume of demand for help and the lack of funds, MSC has to temporarily stop its case management component. Our 501c3 application has been submitted to the IRS recently but it may take up to 3 more months to get approved and MSC cannot begin applying for grants until it is. MSC is currently operating on exclusively on donations. Any contribution, even as little as $5 can make an enormous difference in the lives of our Military and their families.

  2. Public Policy: MSC monitors Congressional and Executive policy-making and implementation. We collect information and data from official and unofficial sources in order to provide feedback to members of Congress as well as military officials regarding the efficacy of their policies. Further, we are developing and promoting policy changes that we believe would significantly improve the quality of life and quality of care for our service members, veterans, and families.

  3. Education, Outreach, and Empowerment: MSC seeks to educate and empower the spouses of service members and veterans, believing they are an untapped resource for ensuring that the needs of our communities are appropriately identified and effectively met.

MSC uses the political power, personal experiences, and social networks of military spouses to:1) educate the public about the issues that military and veteran families face; 2) inform the debate on the needs of these families; and 3) empower themselves and each other.

MSC also offers its members a free, private, online support board.
