What Project DYNAMO does

Project DYNAMO is a 501(c)(3) non-profit humanitarian rescue organization founded in 2021 in Tomball, Texas, during the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan. It conducts rapid-response extractions and emergency relief operations for at-risk Americans and allied civilians in crisis zones worldwide, reporting 7,500+ lives rescued across 34+ countries through named operations such as Eagle Resolute (Kabul), Operation Kingdom, and Operation Hormuz Hustle, plus disaster-response deployments in Jamaica (Hurricane Melissa), Puerto Vallarta/Mexico, and El Salvador. Operations are supported by a veteran-led leadership team with Special Forces, intelligence, and federal law enforcement backgrounds, supplemented by an extensive volunteer and advisor network; staffed headcount is small (1-10 listed), with the balance of capacity drawn from volunteer operators and episodic mission teams.

Core operational capabilities include 24/7 command operations, in-house coordination of complex overseas evacuations (including chartering aircraft such as a Boeing 737 for mass evacuation), and a growing suite of programs that extend beyond emergency extraction. Notably, the organization established the Archangel Counter Human Trafficking Initiative, expanding mission scope into structured anti-trafficking work. In October 2025, Project DYNAMO entered a partnership with Brightcom to integrate AI capabilities into disaster response and humanitarian logistics.

The organization is funded entirely through donations (100% donor-funded), receiving contributions from individual donors, corporate sponsors, and foundations. Its go-to-market relies on crisis-driven media visibility, a documentary narrated by Liam Neeson, and inbound demand from individuals or families requesting extraction assistance. Pricing/ticket economics are not applicable in the conventional sense; rather, the revenue model is contribution-driven, with mission output (lives rescued, operations executed) serving as the principal fundraising proof point for donor renewal.

Core offering

Project DYNAMO is a veteran-led 501(c)(3) nonprofit that conducts rapid-response humanitarian rescue, evacuation, and disaster relief operations to extract Americans and allies from natural disasters, conflict zones, and humanitarian emergencies worldwide. Operations include search and rescue, air and ground evacuation, humanitarian aid delivery, family reunification, and a specialized counter-human-trafficking program (Archangel). All services are provided free of charge to those rescued and are funded entirely by private donations.

Product overview

Project DYNAMO is a veteran-led, donor-funded 501(c)(3) nonprofit that operates a single unified humanitarian rescue service rather than a modular platform. The organization centers on its core International Search, Rescue, Aid and Assistance operations, supported by specialized programs including Disaster Relief (hurricanes, wildfires, flooding), Emergency Evacuation Services (conflict zones, crisis situations), Family Reunification, and the Archangel Counter Human Trafficking Initiative. A structured Global Evacuation Request intake system enables individuals to request rescue assistance, while a Volunteer Program channels skilled professionals into operations, logistics, and community outreach. All services are funded entirely by private donations with no government assistance.
