Story

This May, I will be traveling to Alaska to climb Denali, the tallest mountain in North America. As part of this effort, I will be supporting the fundraising efforts of Semper Fi & America’s Fund. The Fund was founded in 2003 by military spouses and is dedicated to providing immediate financial assistance and lifetime support to our nation’s critically wounded, ill, and injured service members, veterans, and military families. The Fund now includes a nationwide staff of patriotic veterans, community members, and volunteers, and The Fund’s model of lifelong relationships between service members and military families is unique among veteran nonprofits.

While researching organizations to support, it was critically important to me that an overwhelming majority of donations are used directly to support their programs, as opposed to operating costs and expenses. Beyond the impactful mission of Semper Fi & America’s Fund, it is considered to be a leading veteran nonprofit for their expense standards – In 2022, 91% of all expenses were used for their offered programs. The Fund is only one of three veteran nonprofits to receive an A+ rating from CharityWatch, has received a 4-star rating from Charity Navigator (an achievement attained by only 2% of non-profits), and a platinum seal of transparency from Candid/Guidestar.

Below are a few examples of some of their programs. This list is non-exhaustive, but provides a glimpse into the range of assistance and care they provide to the veteran community:

1.     Housing & Transportation Assistance

2.     Education & Career Assistance

3.     Post-Traumatic Stress Support Program

4.     Canine Companions Program

5.     Specialized & Adaptive Equipment Assistance

I hope you will consider supporting this endeavor by giving through my donation page – every little bit counts. Together, we can work to ensure that veterans in need are not forgotten in their suffering, alone in their recovery, and are honored for their service.
