How we give back to the military community

We are particularly supportive of military veterans, and provide significant assistance to nonprofits that help disabled veterans.

Committed to aiding veterans in their daily lives, Soldier Strong focuses on providing Ekso Bionic suits for disabled veterans. United Rentals has sponsored the donation of two Ekso suits to the Boston and Dallas VA hospitals.
Turns for Troops assists American military veterans who suffered major injuries or post-traumatic stress while serving their country by funding access to state-of-the-art rehabilitation programs and technologies through SoldierStrong, and provides critical support for financial and housing security following military service through Operation Homefront. Through Turns for Troops, United Rentals has donated more than $2.3 million since 2016, as an extension of our partnerships with INDYCAR driver Graham Rahal, and NASCAR drivers Austin Hill and Ryan Preece.
United Rentals partners with the Fisher House Foundation in the U.S. and Valour Place in Canada, non-profits that provide a network of comfort homes for veterans and military families receiving treatment.
