Denton Program Overview
The Denton Program allows private U.S. citizens and organizations to use space
available on U.S. military cargo planes to transport humanitarian goods, such
as clothing, food, medical and educational supplies, and agricultural equipment
and vehicles, to countries in need. The program is jointly administered by USAID,
the Department of State (DOS), and the Department of Defense (DOD). In FY2008, more than 600,000 pounds of humanitarian goods were sent to 17 different countries through the Denton Program.

Since Denton is a space available program, it is impossible to predict when
transportation will materialize. Therefore, no guarantees can be made regarding
completion of a shipment. Although the program is active in most areas of the
world, it is more difficult to obtain transportation for more distant countries.
