Free U.S. Military Humanitarian Cargo Program for Charities
Free U.S. Military Humanitarian Cargo Program for Charities
Believe it or not, there is a little known U.S. government program that provides a way for charity and non governmental organizations (NGO) to deliver humanitarian cargo throughout the world aboard U.S. Military aircraft for FREE. It is called the Denton Program
The Denton Program (named in honor of former Navy pilot, Vietnam prisoner-of-war and Alabama senator) legislatively passed in 1987. The Denton program grants the Secretary of Defense the approval to delegate shipments of humanitarian supplies provided by nongovernmental organizations and charity organizations to nations, without any added cost to the nation receiving supplies or the Department of Defense.

The Denton Program is an incredibly productive way for charities to deliver important cargo to the needy, but it's also a detailed program that requires specific expertise. We are Knights Templar and specialize in charitable efforts. Our deep familiarity and ongoing assistance with this program comes at no cost to you.
One of the great aspects of this program is that your application will be processed so long as you complete all of the program's required action items; another words, simply ticking the boxes.
The Denton Program uses an online portal where charity organizations register and submit their shipment details for approval, but before that can be accomplished, destination and cargo suitability and in-country logistics must be first determined and coordinated. It may seem a bit overwhelming on the surface, but we will help you get started.
Once the preliminary coordination and logistics has been established, then the focus of efforts center on packaging, packing, inspections and ground transportation to nearest suitable military where the cargo is further prepared and then loaded onto a cargo aircraft and flown to the destination. Our job is to facilitated this process for you.
After the cargo arrives to an in-country approved airfield, it will be subject to customs processing before the charity takes possession and can proceed with transportation, storage and distribution. Completion of an after action report clears the way for succeeding shipments. As with most things, prior planning and preparation is key.
