Semper Fi & America's Fund

The Semper Fi & America's Fund provides assistance to combat wounded, critically ill and catastrophically injured members of all branches of the U.S. Armed Forces, and their families, ensuring that they have the resources they need during their recovery and transition back to their communities. We work to ensure that no one is left behind. We achieve this through three inter-related programs that address body, mind and spirit to encompass all aspects of recovery and transition - Family Support Program, Transition Program and Wellness Program.

Special Operations Warrior Foundation

Special Operations Warrior Foundation ensures full financial assistance for a post-secondary degree from an accredited two or four-year college, university, technical, or trade school; and offers family and educational counseling, including in-home tutoring, to the surviving children of Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps special operations personnel who lose their lives in the line of duty. Special Operations Warrior Foundation also provides immediate financial assistance to severely wounded and hospitalized special operations personnel.

The Mission Continues

The Mission Continues’ vision is for all veterans with a desire to continue their service to be part of a nationwide movement to transform communities. We’re building a movement that empowers veterans to continue their service, and empowers communities with veteran talent, skills and preparedness to generate visible impact.
At The Mission Continues, we’re on a mission to connect veterans with under-resourced communities. Our programs deploy veteran volunteers to work alongside nonprofit partners and community leaders to improve educational resources, tackle food insecurity, foster neighborhood identity, and more. Your support remains crucial as we empower veterans to find new meaning and focus in their lives through continued service—and to strengthen their communities in the process.
