In honor of National Military Month this May, IHOP has announced a new national campaign to help fund educational efforts for the children of Armed Forces personnel who died in the line of duty.

Throughout the month of May, the IHOP pancake house is doing something special to honor National Military Month.

Each charity is assigned a financial score, an accountability, and transparency score; our list is ordered by financial score from lowest to highest, with any ties broken by the program expenses ratio, representing the percent of a charity's total expenses spent on the programs and services it delivers.

Dallas, Texas-based material handling hardware company The Crosby Group LLC has committed to donate up to $25,000 to the Children of Fallen Patriots Foundation based on the sales of its popular wire rope clips from April to June. The charity provides college scholarships and educational counseling to military children who have lost a parent in the line of duty.

 More than twenty thousand children have been impacted by the loss of a parent killed in the line of duty. Leaving families with financial strain and questions about their future.
