$5,000 helps us preserve the legacy of Navy Special Operations through ongoing efforts that honor the memory of those we have lost. This level of support allows us to engage directly with Gold Star families, ensuring they remain connected to the community and that their loved ones are remembered with care and respect. It also helps us plan and executre memorial events that bring the community together to reflect, remember, and recognize the sacrifices made.

$1,000 provides custom, team-specific support driven by the Operators themselves. Whether it’s funding a memorial's race, helping organize a reunion, or supporting legacy projects like the MDSU TWO time capsule initiative, this level gives NSOF the ability to say “yes” when the community comes to us with a mission that matters.

Over the last seven years, our Urgent Financial Assistance program has above all put into perspective the enormity of the gap NSOF fills and validated why we exist. Our commitment to maintaining the ability to approve, process, and fund these requests in 24hrs or less - without forcing our families to jump through hoops, provide endless financial documents, or fill out lengthy applications has truly established our Foundation as our warriors’ place to turn to first.

The NSOF Family Getaway Program is a dedicated initiative by NSOF that aims to support and strengthen the bonds within NSO families. Every year we provide over 60 NSO families of up to 6, on BOTH coasts, with an incredible getaway at Great Wolf Lodge. 

By bringing families together, the program not only strengthens individual family units but also encourages the formation of meaningful friendships among families who share similar struggles.

The NSOF Family Getaway Program serves as a platform for families to connect, share experiences, and build a support network that extends beyond the duration of the getaways.
