Semper Fi Fund/Injured Marine Semper Fi Fund: Always Faithful to the Cause

The Semper Fi Fund including its America’s Fund program remains true to its motto – always faithful to the post-9/11 veterans of the U.S. Armed Forces in the provision of support services for them and their families. The fund provides for immediate monetary assistance as well as lifetime support for the wounded, injured and critically ill veterans and their families, thus, ensuring their successful recovery and transition into society after their deployment.

Today, the Semper Fi Fund has issued over $99 million in grants and assistance to more than 13,000 veterans and their families – and the numbers just keep on increasing. The recipients have indeed benefited from the support especially in their recovery from injuries as well as in integration back into their communities. The organization provides for financial and emotional support for injured and ill service members as well as their families via several programs including Family Support, Adaptive Housing, Education and Career Transitioning, and Specialized Equipment, among others.

Established by a group of Marine Corps spouses, the Fund is now managed by the same group as well as by other spouses from all service branches and retired service members. The Semper Fi Fund can be accessed by post-9/11 service members including Marines, Airmen, Sailors, and Sailors as well as reservists who have injuries and illnesses, such as traumatic brain injury, post-traumatic stress disorder, and spinal cord injuries.

Of course, the organization has to use its resources in providing for its tiered support services. It completely relies on the donations made by individuals, foundations and corporations as well as community groups for its fundraising, administrative, and program costs; it does not conduct direct mail campaigns and receive government funding to keep its costs as low as possible, thus, ensuring that the fund can be used for the welfare of service members.

And with high ratings from charity watchdogs, such as A+ Top Rated Charity by CharityWatch and 4-star rating from Charity Navigator, you have the assurance that your dollar donations will go a long way toward the welfare of service members and their families.
