Mission

The Marine Raider Foundation is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization established in May of 2012 that provides benevolent support to active-duty and former Raiders assigned to Marine Corps Forces Special Operations (MARSOC), World War II Marine Raiders, and Raider families, including the families of Raiders who gave their lives in service to our Nation. The Marine Raider Foundation aims to meet needs unmet by the government and other organizations, with an emphasis on building personal, professional and family resiliency and supporting the full reintegration of wounded, ill, injured and transitioning Raiders, their families, and MARSOC's Gold Star Families. Marine Raider Foundation programs include Raider Support, Tragedy Assistance and Survivor Support, Family Resiliency, and Legacy Preservation. Since standing up in May of 2012, the Foundation has provided over $4 million in assistance to the Raider community thanks to the generosity of our donors and advocates. Over the past 7 years, the Marine Raider Foundation has providing funding for:

  • Memorial structures commemorating MARSOC's fallen heroes
  • Battalion hosted events for families before, during and after deployments
  • The Annual Resiliency and Remembrance Event that brings together Gold Star Families
  • Transition Assistance Grants for Raiders re-entering the civilian sector
  • Medical equipment and treatments for wounded, ill and injured Raiders
  • Commemorative events that honor World War II Marine Raiders and connect them to modern-day Raiders
