Our Mission

Our Mission Is Simple

Providing assistance for local U.S. veterans and their families adversely affected by their military service

The Disabled Patriot Fund was formed in 2004 by a group of area business people and local officials who came together because of a common interest; to “Provide assistance for local U.S. veterans and their families adversely affected by their military service”.

Since 2004, we have had some of the founding board members retire and attained new members along the way. The one thing that has remained constant is everyone’s commitment to control the organization as an all-volunteer board to ensure that all donations to the Disabled Patriot Fund go to our main cause of helping our injured veterans in need of immediate assistance. The Disabled Patriot Fund is proud to be able to declare that over 90% of every dollar collected goes directly to the veterans and their families that are in need.

The men and women who are protecting our freedom are coming home with varying levels of physical and mental disabilities, In many cases, receiving minimal financial assistance from governmental agencies. Sometimes their disabilities do not arise until years later, adversely affecting and interrupting their lives, sometimes making the connection between injury and service connection even more difficult. When situations like this occur, we are there for them – we assist and support them to grow and move past the bad times, enabling them to achieve their goals and be successful and content members of society.
