GIVING BACK
Defense Strategies Institute (DSI) was created as a non-partisan, relevant, sustainable, and ethical organization supporting the Department of Defense, Department of Homeland Security, Department of Veterans Affairs and all other valid federal government areas.
Our pledge is to be both a charitable and meaningful organization. To that end DSI donates to charities that are aligned with our Mission & Partners. Our donations include both financial and like-kind contributions.
