The Special Forces Foundation is here to provide physical, financial, and emotional support to our Military's most elite, the Green Berets, and their families. We fill the gaps of care for families giving them breathing room when life hits hardest; all of this is made possible thanks to our donors.
"The Special Forces Foundation was there for me and my Girls when my Husband was killed in Afghanistan in 2019. They not only were there to help cover funeral expenses when the military didn't cover all of it they also bought us a new car to fit my whole family (we have 4 daughters under the age of 9), covered costs for child care, and have remained an active part of our lives since tragedy hit our family." - Sarah Lindsay
The Special Forces Foundation (formerly the Green Beret Association) is a 501(c)(3) tax exempt non-profit organization serving U.S. Army Special Forces (Green Berets) and their families. The Foundation provides a range of programs aligned with the SOCOM Commander's Preservation of The Force and Family (POTFF) program, designed to address the fraying of the forces after nearly two decades of sustained combat. Our programs contribute to the maintenance of the mind and body, and, provide acute and ongoing support in resolving, psychological, emotional and relationship issues before they become chronic.
During times of tragedy, the Special Forces Foundation provides immediate support to the soldiers family with the goal of maintaining long term support to those left behind. The Special Forces Foundation also provides counseling and other services to those left behind and the Special Operations community.
The Special Forces Foundation assists warriors transition from military to civilian life through career counseling, professional network support, and mentorship. Successful transition is key to the emotional, mental, and family stability necessary for a long healthy life post service.
The Special Forces Foundation was created by an Active Duty Green Beret who is still currently active and holds our Executive Director Position. He created it out of the mindset than who better to run an organization that provides assistance than someone who lives and breaths this life everyday. Our organization must always be run by an Active Duty Green Beret which also means that the person running the SFF can never receive a paycheck. It must always be 100% volunteer work. Currently standing all positions are volunteer positions and we do not hold office space keeping our overhead at a minimum ensuring that the absolute most goes back to the cause, roughly 98% of all donations goes straight back to the cause. The other 2% goes towards our small overhead costs. We have grown tremendously since conception, allowing us to provide support to the families in our small community that are spread all across the world. And for that we are thankful.
