We match the street line and ZIP code as the IRS gives them, ignoring case and outer spaces and nothing else, so "AVE" and "AVENUE" count as different streets and this list can miss some. A shared address can mean related organizations or a shared office, but it can also be a registered agent, a mail drop or a service provider holding mail for unrelated clients. It is not, by itself, evidence that two organizations are connected.

Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

The Congressional Medal of Honor Society is dedicated to preserving the legacy of the Medal of Honor, inspiring America to live the values the Medal represents, and supporting Recipients of the Medal as they connect with communities across America.

Activities or mission (Part I)

The Congressional Medal of Honor Society is dedicated to preserving the legacy of the Medal of Honor, inspiring America to live the values the Medal represents, and supporting Recipients. The Internal Revenue Service letter dated June 29, 1999, recognized the Society as a public charity (and not as a private foundation) under Internal Revenue Code section 509(a)1 and 170(b)(1)(a) (vi). The name of this nonprofit charitable organization is the Congressional Medal of Honor Society of the United States of America. The Congressional Medal of Honor Society of the United States of America is perhaps the "most exclusive organization" in our Country...it is certainly one of the most unique. No amount of money, power or influence can buy one's rite of passage to this exclusive circle, and unlike almost any other organization, this group's members hope that there will be no more inductees. Beyond this attitude towards recruitment, about all they have in common.

  • The Medal of Honor Museum: Located on the hangar deck of the USS Yorktown at Patriots Point in Mount Pleasant, SC, the Congressional Medal of Honor Society's Medal of Honor Museum serves as the home of the Medal of Honor, preserving the legacy of the Recipients who wear it and the values it represents: courage, commitment, integrity, sacrifice, citizenship, and patriotism. The museum chronicles the history of the Medal of Honor from the Civil War through the Global War on Terrorism. Designed to be both educational and memorable, the exhibits invite visitors to experience history in a way that is thought-provoking and inspiring. Through these stories, it is our hope that guests gain a renewed respect for the valor of those who have answered the call to defend our nation's freedom, and that they leave inspired by the extraordinary individuals who went "above and beyond the call of duty." Exhibits feature memorabilia and artifacts relating to Medal of Honor Recipients. In addition to permanent displays, rotating and interactive exhibits highlight related themes and areas of interest, ensuring that each visit offers a new perspective on service and sacrifice.

    Expenses $1,995,931 · Revenue $11,440

  • Character Development Program: The Medal of Honor Character Development Program teaches courage, commitment, integrity, sacrifice, citizenship, and patriotism to students through lessons grounded in cross-curricular academics and developed by teachers for teachers. Based on the non-fiction stories of medal of honor recipients and citizen honors awardees, the lessons are appropriate in all school and homeschool settings as well as extra-curricular activities. Both the middle/high school, elementary school materials, and an abundance of supporting resources are available online and free of charge, for anyone who wishes to use them.

    Expenses $978,570

  • Education Assistance: The Society provides financial assistance to the children of Medal of Honor Recipients pursuing education or training at accredited institutions, including trade and technical schools, colleges, and universities. This support fosters leadership development, ethical reasoning, cultural awareness, teamwork, and meaningful connections with mentors and peers.

    Expenses $255,437 · Grants $25,518

  • The Healthcare and Advocacy Program is a comprehensive resource dedicated to enhancing the well-being of Medal of Honor Recipients and their families. By integrating essential services under a centralized system, it provides access to a broad range of medical, health, and wellness options. This program delivers more effective, ongoing support while fulfilling two of the Society's charter guidelines: to protect Recipients and to provide for Recipients and their families.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Grants received

The 10 largest by cash amount. The API serves every itemized grant.

Related organizations

From Schedule R Part II, where a filer lists the tax-exempt organizations it is related to by control. It does not record shared board members or money.

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 11 November 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
