Dedicated to providing immediate financial assistance and lifetime support to our Nation’s critically wounded, ill, and injured service members, veterans, and military families.
Programs and services employ a “needs-based” approach. Staff and volunteers work one-on-one with service members, veterans, and military families–providing ongoing support for as long as legitimate needs require.
Case managers often introduce new programs to further assist service members and military families throughout the journey to recovery and transition back into their communities.
The Fund processes, on average, 150 grant requests each day and typically delivers assistance within 24-48 hours of receiving an emergency request, within a week for non-urgent cases.

When the Semper Fi Fund was founded in 2004, The Fund’s assistance was initially focused on post 9/11 active duty Marines and Sailors who were wounded, critically ill, or catastrophically injured and their immediate family members. In 2012, the America’s Fund was started as a program of the Semper Fi Fund specifically to offer assistance to members of the Army, Air Force, Space Force, National Guard, Coast Guard and their Reserve components who had catastrophic injuries or life-threatening illness. In 2018, we started a pilot program to help the catastrophically injured from Vietnam--the LCpl Parsons Welcome Home Fund for Vietnam Veterans. Focus on families–-spouses and children in particular-–is a key element of our unique programs and support. In 2020, our Skip’s Kids Program expanded support for children of service members who have been wounded, critically, ill, or injured.
