Semper Fi Fund provides family support, bedside financial support, caregiver support and retreats, housing assistance, transportation assistance, kids program, adaptive equipment

Service Member and Family Support Program
The Semper Fi Fund's Service Member and Family Support Program program provides direct financial assistance and vital programming for combat wounded, critically ill and catastrophically injured service members and their families during hospitalization and recovery.

Bedside Financial Support
Provides needs-based financial assistance for expenses that are most pressing during a long hospitalization or rehabilitation. Typically families use this grant to help with additional travel and lodging expenses, childcare, and out of pocket expenses. By reducing the burden of financial worries for our Service members and their families, we allow them to place their much needed attention towards the recovery process.

Caregiver Support & Retreats
Caregivers take on a wide variety of roles critical to the recovery process and to lifelong care: nurse, aide, psychologist, physical therapist, benefits expert, homemaker, cook, healthcare advocate and so much more. We understand the challenging and stressful nature of what caregivers do all day, every day.

Housing Assistance
Most service members who use wheelchairs for mobility require adaptive housing. Handicap modifications are costly, but necessary. The Semper Fi Fund provides funding toward the cost of housing and assistance through grants to those who have fallen behind on their housing payment due to injury, recovery and rehabilitation costs.

Transportation Assistance
Semper Fi Fund provides adaptive modes of transportation to include modified wheel chairs, vehicles and snow removal equipment. Our veterans have given their all to support our country and the Semper Fi Fund is there to support our service members with innovative modifications for their day-to-day transportation needs.

Kids Program
More than two million American children have had a parent deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan. Hundreds of thousands have had a parent wounded in action. Children of wounded, critically ill and injured Service members face serious adversity, often leading to “secondary PTSD,” with symptoms including hypervigilance, dissociation, irritability, and behavioral outbursts. We believe they should not have to face these challenges on their own

Adaptive Equipment
Semper Fi Fund Specialized and Adaptive Equipment Program grants cover any equipment that can improve the quality of life for service members with disabilities. Grants have included visual-enhancement devices for the visually impaired, software programs for those who cannot type, specialized wheelchairs for those who are unable to ambulate and therapeutic mattresses for those with multiple injuries and burns.

Visiting Nurse Program
The Semper Fi Fund and America’s Fund Visiting Nurse Program provides support to Service members and Veterans of all five service branches as deemed eligible by the Fund’s guidelines. The Visiting Nurse program provides emotional support, assistance in the development of coping skills, identifies health and wellness needs, gaps in care, and barriers to using a self-care management model. The goal of the Visiting Nurse program is to create a framework of support to improve overall Service member and Veteran and family health and wellness.
