Special Operations Warrior Foundation

Based on its 2023 tax return, the net assets of the Special Operations Warrior Foundation equal 12.7 times its $18 million annual budget. This may be an indication that the group is spending too little of its donations on programs. We recommend net assets exceed no more than 3 years of the group’s annual budget.

We do not recommend giving to the Special Operations Warrior Foundation. See our lists of Highly Recommended Charities and Recommended Charities for alternatives.
