America’s Most Patriotic Companies 2026 recognizes the nation’s most patriotic companies based on a comprehensive research study that includes in-depth desk research, a large-scale survey, and media monitoring. An initial review of more than 10,000 U.S.-based firms was conducted to identify companies that support military personnel and veterans through formal employer programs, discounts, and other tangible benefits. Of these, 2,500 companies were selected for an evaluation in a nationwide survey.
The nationwide survey invited more than 20,000 Americans to participate through multiple online access panels between September 2025 – October 2025. Participants were asked to indicate their own level of patriotism based on a non-partisan definition centered on their love, support of, and commitment to the core ideals and values of the United States. Respondents then rated companies based on their commitment to acting ethically and how patriotic they perceived the companies to be. Survey participants who identified themselves as active or former members of the military, police, or fire department were given additional consideration, with their responses weighted more heavily in the final scoring model.
In addition, in-depth desk research was conducted to determine a company’s support for U.S. communities affected by natural disasters using data from the US Chamber of Commerce Corporate Aid Tracker and company press announcements. The 500 highest-scoring companies were named as America’s Most Patriotic Companies 2026.
