Special Operations Warrior Foundation

For nearly 29 years, the Special Operations Warrior Foundation has provided full college scholarship grants, not loans, along with financial aid and educational counseling to surviving children of Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps special operations personnel who were killed in an operational mission or training accident.

For the third year in a row, the Special Operations Warrior Foundation has been awarded a four-star rating from Charity Navigator, the nation's leading charity watchdog group. It's Charity Navigator's highest rating for financial efficiency. The Special Operations is just one of four veterans services and advocacy charities that have earned at least two consecutive four-star rating.

The Special Operations Warrior Foundation is also the recipient of the coveted Best in America Seal through the Combined Federal Campaign. This seal of excellence is awarded to members of the Independent Charities of America and Local Independent Charities of America that have, upon rigorous independent review, been able to certify, document, and demonstrate on an annual basis that they meet the highest standards of public accountability, program effectiveness and cost effectiveness.

The Special Operations Warrior Foundation is proud of its ability to maintain a low overhead. Last year, the administrative overhead was 5.8 percent – meaning 94.2 cent of every dollar goes directly to the programs of supporting special operations personnel and their families.
