America’s Fund is a pilot program
administered by the Semper Fi Fund, providing immediate financial support to
injured service members from all branches and their families. Since
its launch last month, America’s Fund has already begun to fulfill grant
requests for 14 service members, the first of whom is featured on the new
website.
“America’s Fund is a wonderful way for
us to help more of our country’s injured service members and families,”
commented Karen Guenther, the founder and CEO of the Semper Fi Fund.
“Celebrating the new website’s launch on Flag Day makes it even more poignant.”
America’s Fund’s first priority is providing family support
grants. These enable families to spend time at loved ones’ hospital bedsides,
free from the financial pressures of travel, temporary lodging and lost wages.
They plan to quickly expand their range of services to include
assistance for specialized and adaptive equipment, adaptive housing and
transportation, education and career transition aid, therapeutic arts and PTSD
and TBI support.
America’s Fund is a pilot program created to direct urgently
needed resources and financial support to injured and critically ill members of
the U.S. Armed Forces and their families. The program is administered by the
Semper Fi Fund, an established 501(c)(3) nonprofit with an A+ rating from the
American Institute of Philanthropy and a 4-star rating from Charity Navigator.
