Originally founded on August 24, 2015, as Operation Blue Shield, we are now doing business as One CommunityUSA.

One CommunityUSA is a public charity exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue code. Our Federal Employer Tax ID number is 47-4896404.

One CommunityUSA is dedicated to creating safe, secure neighborhoods through comprehensive cause-minded community engagement programs that unite, raise awareness and foster positive relationships between first responders and citizens living in the communities they serve and protect. Our education, health, second chance, civic engagement, safety and advocacy programs are the necessary components to improving lives and building safe, secure cities of opportunity for all.

One CommunityUSA finances its work through individual contributions, corporate donations, foundation grants and planned gifts. One CommunityUSA relies on in-kind contributions and special events to lessen the cost of goods and services. One CommunityUSA does not solicit contributions over the phone or door-to-door.

We are partnered with Kickstart Kids® and Hope for Prisoners to achieve a common goal of making our neighborhoods safe, stable and economically vibrant places to live, work and thrive.
