FRIENDS OF THE FOLDS OF HONOR FOUNDATION

Since inception in 2007, the Folds of Honor Foundation has provided over 13,000 scholarships to recipients in all 50 states. 2.5 million service members have been deployed to active military campaigns in Iraq and Afghanistan since 2001. The US Department of Defense reports 59,159 service members as having been killed or wounded in action. Additionally, the US Veterans Administration lists 1.8 million members with disability ratings due to their military service. More than 87% of the dependents affected by the recent wars do not qualify for federal scholarship assistance. While the federal government provides some support for these families, it cannot succeed alone without proactive civilian organizations to assist.

The monies we raise help us provide scholarships and other assistance to the spouses and children of soldiers killed or disabled in service to our country.
