The Campaign
The most ambitious initiative in the Green Beret Foundation’s history. $3 million over 18 months. Every dollar advances two enduring purposes: building permanent capacity through a family of Special Forces Group funds, and sustaining the core mission of the Foundation across the entire Regiment.
The first generation built the Regiment. Our generation must build the Foundation worthy of it.
Where the Mission Goes to Work
Through Veteran Service Officer advocacy, the Next Ridgeline Program, and financial assistance, GBF helps Green Berets and their families navigate earned benefits, overcome financial hardships, and build lasting stability throughout military service, transition, and beyond.
Some of the most consequential wounds of service cannot be seen. Repeated blast exposure, sustained operational stress, and years of demanding service can cause neurological effects that emerge long after a mission ends. The Foundation is expanding access to world-class brain health care through medical partnerships, research, and concierge navigation for the Special Forces community.
Scholarships, caregiver assistance, spouse initiatives, family resilience programs, and Gold Star Family engagement for the people standing behind the warrior.
Rapid, flexible support when casualties occur, families face tragedy, or disaster strikes. The Foundation moves fast when the community needs it most.
When a Green Beret or family faces the unexpected, the answer is never “there is no program for that.” The answer is: we are here.
Honoring 75 Years of Special Forces. Investing in Every Generation.
The 75th anniversary of U.S. Army Special Forces calls for more than a celebration. It calls for an enduring commitment to the Green Berets and families who built the Regiment’s legacy, those carrying it forward today, and those who will follow.
Founded in 2009 by combat-wounded Green Beret Aaron Anderson, the Green Beret Foundation was established to address unmet needs within the Special Forces community. Through trusted relationships, specialized expertise, and measurable impact, the Foundation was selected and positioned to lead this milestone campaign and celebration.
First to serve. Built to lead. Founded in 2009, GBF is the oldest nonprofit serving the Special Forces community, with the experience, trust, and proven impact to lead this milestone campaign.
Your support turns 75 years of legacy into lasting opportunity for Green Berets and their families.
A lifetime of commitment. Serving all generations of Green Berets and their families through active duty, transition, retirement, caregiving, loss, and survivorship.
Invest in casualty assistance, family support, and scholarships that strengthen stability and open doors for the next generation.
Earned benefits. Lasting impact. GBF’s accredited, in-house Veterans Service Officers have helped secure more than $46 million in annualized VA disability benefits.
Expand access to expert claims representation so more Green Berets receive the benefits they earned.
Community insight. National influence. As a founding member of the VALOR Coalition alongside the Navy SEAL Foundation, Wounded Warrior Project, and Veterans Exploring Treatment Solutions, GBF brings the Special Forces perspective to national efforts addressing mental wellness, brain health, and veteran suicide prevention.
Through initiatives such as SOF Brain Health, these partnerships help advance meaningful solutions for the Special Forces community.
Proven stewardship. Measurable results. GBF’s Four-Star Charity Navigator rating reflects its commitment to accountability and organizational effectiveness.
88 cents of every dollar invested supports GBF’s programs and services, based on the CY2025 figure.
Give with purpose through a campaign gift, a designated program investment, or a multiyear pledge.
Honor the legacy. Build what comes next. This campaign connects a historic celebration with an enduring commitment to the Regiment’s future.
Help secure that future through leadership gifts, corporate partnerships, planned giving, and introductions to others ready to invest.
Educating. Inspiring. Connecting. The Jedburgh Media Channel shares the stories, experiences, and perspectives of the Special Forces community, educating and inspiring the next generation while honoring the Regiment’s past, present, and future.
Through engaging conversations and storytelling, the channel helps preserve the Regiment’s legacy, strengthen connections across generations, and broaden awareness of the Green Beret community.
The story of Special Forces began with the Originals of 10th Group in 1952 and grew across the world and across generations. Each Group built its own history, identity, and legacy of service. The campaign honors those legacies through a family of dedicated funds. Give to the Group whose legacy means the most to you, or to the campaign as a whole.

Heritage
“De Oppresso Liber”: To Free the Oppressed
The Army Special Forces are established. 10th Special Forces Group stands up at Fort Bragg, the first of the Regiment.
President Kennedy authorizes the Green Beret as official headgear.
Green Berets formed the core of the Military Assistance Command, Vietnam Studies and Observations Group, the joint task force that ran cross-border reconnaissance and unconventional warfare missions across Southeast Asia.
Green Berets helped in the 1989 operation to remove Manuel Noriega from power in Panama. Soldiers from the 7th Special Forces Group seized the Pacora River Bridge during Operation Just Cause, stopping Panamanian Defense Forces from reaching Panama City.
On October 19, 2001, U.S. Army Special Forces began inserting into Afghanistan following the September 11 terrorist attacks. Working alongside Afghan Northern Alliance forces, Green Berets played a pivotal role in the opening stages of Operation Enduring Freedom. Among them was Operational Detachment Alpha (ODA) 595, which partnered with General Abdul Rashid Dostum’s forces in northern Afghanistan. Traveling on horseback through mountainous terrain, they coordinated U.S. airstrikes against Taliban positions and helped secure the strategic city of Mazar-i-Sharif in November 2001.
Since its founding in 2009, the Green Beret Foundation has generated $44 million in total resources1 to support its mission through 2025.
75 years on. The Regiment gathers in Colorado Springs, and a family of Group funds carries the legacy forward.
1 Total Mission Investment represents total gross revenue reported on the organization’s IRS Form 990 for the fiscal year. It reflects the full financial resources generated in support of the organization’s mission, including program services, fundraising, administration, and other mission-supporting activities. Form 990 gross revenue is reported before direct expenses associated with fundraising and product sales. It excludes in-kind donations of services and facilities, which would increase the total. ↩
The Originals built the standard the entire Regiment lives by. Seventy-five years on, 10th Group still carries that legacy forward every single day.
