Programs
On its FY2025 return the organization reported starting a significant new program.
Moaa launched its inaugural military people-focused conference, total force plus, in 2025, with the theme of advancing solutions for a stronger future. This two-day event sought to bring together the military community, dow and va leaders, and industry professionals to address issues surrounding benefits, healthcare, military recruiting, and pay and compensation. The conference centered around four pillars of exploring new solutions to: modernize talent management & innovation, optimize leadership development & performance, advance quality of life, and amplify the veteran and retiree experience.
Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 2).
Totalforce+ conference:totalforce+ is a national conference convened by the Military Officers Association of America (moaa) focused on strengthening the u.s. Total force by advancing solutions across talent management, leadership development, human performance, quality of life, and the veteran and retiree experience. The conference brings together senior military leaders, government officials, industry executives, nonprofit organizations, academic institutions, and military-connected families to address the people side of national defense and the challenges impacting readiness, recruitment, retention, transition, and long-term force sustainment. Designed as a cross-sector platform for collaboration, professional development, innovation, and strategic dialogue, totalforce+ features keynote presentations, panel discussions, solution-focused sessions, networking opportunities, and an interactive exhibit experience highlighting programs, technologies, and initiatives supporting the military and veteran community. The inaugural totalforce+ conference was held october 2829, 2025, at national harbor, maryland, and welcomed more than 2,700 attendees, over 100 speakers, and more than 100…
Advocacy:moaa advances a year-round, nonpartisan advocacy program to preserve and protect earned pay, health care, survivor, education, housing, and other benefits for servicemembers, veterans, retirees, survivors, and military families. Working with congress, the pentagon, the department of veterans affairs, coalition partners, and its nationwide network of members, and affiliated chapters and councils, moaa develops legislative priorities, provides testimony and policy analysis, mobilizes grassroots outreach through its legislative action center and annual advocacy in action campaign, and educates the uniformed services community on policy changes affecting their lives. Among its achievements in 2025, moaa's advocacy efforts helped sustain congressional oversight of military health system reform; support improvements in military family housing; encourage reforms to decrease the 21% military spouse unemployment rate; and contribute to reforms expanding veterans' health care and compensation, including toxic exposure and caregiver support.
Chapter support:the organization provides support to nearly 400 independently organized, locally controlled chapters and state and virtual councils worldwide. This support involves chartering, providing organizational and administrative guidance, and executing live and virtual visits with approximately 140 of these chapters annually. These visits are to educate and inform members on the legislative advocacy efforts of the national organization, provide advice and assistance related to earned military service benefits and privileges, and assist with state-level legislative advocacy efforts to recognize the unique sacrifices made by military and veteran families.
Career transition services:moaa provides assistance and information to members, their spouses and the broader uniformed services and surviving spouse community in matters relating to career transition services and financial & benefits education programs. This includes resume advice, career counseling, job listings, and self-marketing assistance on employment opportunities with veteran-friendly companies, and financial & benefits consultations to support them at whatever their stage is in life. Moaa also participates in department of defense transition assistance program briefings and retiree appreciation day events held live and virtually across the country. In addition, moaa conducts educational webinar events and at least 6 live and virtual career fairs each year, all of which are open to the entire military and veteran community.
Benefits and delivery of information to the military community:moaa provides technical advice and assistance to members, their families, and the broader military community on matters relating to military retirement, medical benefits and privileges, career transition and professional development support, accessing veterans' benefits and caregiver support. Virtual and live engagement programs included approximately 50 facilitations on military installations, assisting more than 24,000 military members, veterans, and their families, and providing updates on earned benefits to nearly 3,500 military retirees nationwide.
The 5 programs described on its FY2025 Form 990, listed largest first by expense.
The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2020 to 2021, from $161M to $185M (+14%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
0% of MILITARY OFFICERS ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (30% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.
