Founded by Navy SEALs, Run by Navy SEALs, Supporting Navy SEALs
The Navy SEALs Fund – Brotherhood Beyond Battlefield ® mission is composed of three primary focus areas: Emergency Assistance (aka Quick Reaction Funding), PTS/TBI support, and Navy SEAL Community outreach programs.
As a small non-profit, we remain quick, flexible, and responsive; capable of providing Emergency Assistance within hours for the unique needs of current, retired, and former Navy SEAL teammates and their families. These needs for assistance can be due to a result of injury, loss of life, transitional needs, or some of life’s unexpected events.
PTS/TBI support has become a greater focus area as the Navy SEALs Fund is one of only a very few charities providing financial assistance for alternative PTS/TBI treatment options for Navy SEALs. The ability to offer choices in care is vital to ensuring that Navy SEALs and their families have the greatest chance of recovery from the effects of PTS/TBI.
The Navy SEAL Community outreach program was launched in 2018 with the first initiative, Frogman Down. This is one example of the support provided by Navy SEALs Fund to all generations of those who have earned the Trident. Our SEAL Community outreach program is focused on strengthening the bonds between Brothers, building strong families and strong communities.

Hello am the Gold Star father of Michael Strange KIA 8-6-2011. Three months after the worse day of my life I tried to go back to work. I deal black jack at a casino in Philly. Dealing with the public for 8 hours was not happening. Everyone is still going on with their life and my son is dead. People happy and talking about getting married and go on vacation. Michael never had a chance to get married or go on are next vacation. I kept breaking down start crying that horrifying cry. The casino people were great I would take a walk smoke a cig and go back then it would happen again. I tried for months and could not make a full week of work. I fell behind on everything. I was ready to get evicted, thrown out on the street.
The NAVY SEALS FUND came through. They helped us catch up with everything…
I still remember the feeling of helplessness and despair I felt the night I received a phone call from my wife and heard her sobbing uncontrollably and unable to speak on the other end of the line. The police officer who was there with her took the phone from her and informed me that she had found her son (my step-son) dead when she returned home from work that evening… I couldn’t imagine the pain she was feeling, but I knew it was more than any mother should ever have to bare. I informed the officer that I would be there as quickly as possible and asked him not to leave her alone.
