Supporting Our Special Forces and Their Families
SEAL - Naval Special Warfare Foundation - Hawaii
The Men
Navy SEALS are the world's most elite band of Special Operations warriors. Named after the environments in which they operate — the SEa, Air and Land — their daring missions and courageous successes are the substance of modern legend. They are the foundation of Naval Special Warfare combat forces and stand ready, worldwide, to conduct the most difficult and dangerous Special Operations missions. Today's SEALs trace their history from the elite Frogmen, Scouts and Raiders of World War II. Training is extremely demanding, both mentally and physically, and produces the world's best Special Operations warriors
The Mission
SEAL - Naval Special Warfare Foundation - Hawaii (the "Foundation") is a nonprofit organization formed under Section 509 (a)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to be exempt from federal taxation as a supporting organization for the Naval Special Warfare Foundation, which is a 501(c)(3) established to raise funds in support of the families of US Navy SEALs who have died while serving our country, or who are presently serving in harm's way in trouble spots around the world. The organization is comprised of volunteers from around the country and has no employees. 100 percent of the funds raised at our fundraising events, after expenses, will go solely to improve the education, health and wellness of the spouses and children of deceased and active duty SEALs. The Foundation’s application for exemption from federal taxation is pending. We do not foresee any problem obtaining IRS recognition as a tax exempt organization, which, when granted, will relate back to the date of formation on August 28, 2007.
