Kaplan Public
Service Foundation

Bridging the gap between the military and civilian worlds.

“The Kaplan Public Service Foundation is investing in what I believe to be our nation’s most valuable asset – the young American Soldier. The Kaplan Public Service Foundation does so much more than simply bridge the gap between the civilian and military communities – it changes lives. Their selfless service, generosity and commitment to my platoon is something for which my troops and I am eternally grateful.”

– Former Captain Nicholas Westendorf, United States Army, 1st Platoon, 87th Sapper Company

Overview

The Kaplan Public Service Foundation (KPSF) is a 501(c)(3) all volunteer nonprofit organization dedicated to fostering meaningful dialogue and engagement between civilians and the United States military. We connect citizen leaders with service members, allied partners, and members of the U.S. foreign service, both domestically and around the world, to provide firsthand insight into the national security issues shaping the geopolitical and economic interests of the United States.

In addition, KPSF supports initiatives that enhance the well-being and effectiveness of our military by funding programs, equipment, and facility improvements not covered by government resources. From organizing base visits and hosting receptions to supporting critical upgrades of military facilities, each effort reflects the Foundation’s unwavering commitment to our service members, allies, and their families.

Our Work in Action
