Owner Statement: “It’s not about us. It’s about the flag. We’re just three patriotic friends who couldn’t find a hand-sewn American flag made in the U.S.A. that wouldn’t end up in tatters after flying for just a short time.
That was unacceptable. So we decided to make it ourselves.”

I did not see where they donated to political candidates, but they did appear to support some non profit partners, which I’ll touch upon shortly.

PERSONAL EXPERIENCE:
My husband wanted a flag made in America for Christmas and gave me a link to their website. https://www.showallegiance.com/collections/shop-allegiance
I ordered the $175.00 package which came with the flag, pole, mount, and non tangle flagpole spinners. The package arrived in time for Christmas.
The quality of the product is OUTSTANDING. The flag is made of sturdy material and the wooden pole is high quality. A veteran, myself, I’m proud to fly this high quality flag that was actually made in America.

The website is user friendly and has a FAQ about the business and how to treat flags.
The following are listed as “Non-Profit Partners” on their website:

Their comprehensive health and wellness programs target the big five invisible wounds: PTSD, traumatic brain injury, chronic pain, self-medication and insomnia.
AFS was proud to partner with them during the holiday season to participate in their Santa's Boots program to serve military families across 23 states with Allegiance American flags in addition to many other amazing gifts. Their work is special to Allegiance as they work hard to serve not only the person in service, but their families as well.

They provide once in a lifetime experiences for veterans, at no cost to them. Most impactfully, through their Battlefield Return project, they've sent 200+ veterans back to sites such as the shores of Normandy and the black volcanic sands of Iwo Jima. These experiences are deeply moving and offer a chance for recollection and recognition for each veteran involved.
For vets returning to the battlefield or vets involved with their education initiatives stateside, Allegiance is excited to provide them with flags to help honor these American heroes.
