IMSFF Profile

The Injured Marine Semper Fi Fund provides financial assistance and quality of life solutions to:

  • OIF/OEF Marines and Sailors injured in combat, training, or with life threatening illnesses
  • Their families- to help defray the expenses incurred during hospitalization, rehabilitation, and recovery
  • Other OIF/OEF service members injured while in direct support of Marine units and their families
  • Help with expenses associated with the purchase of specialized equipment, adaptive vans or vehicles, and handicap home purchases and/or modifications

Accomplishments

  • Provided grants of over $7 million in Fiscal Year 2007 to our wounded OIF/OEF service members and their families.
  • Since inception, May 2004, has provided over $21 million in grants to our OIF/OEF wounded and their family members.
  • Expanded IMSFF Programs to meet the continuing needs of our injured and their families.

Ongoing Objectives

  • Alleviate the financial burden incurred by families of wounded, injured, or seriously ill service members so their focus can be on recovery.
  • Provide innovative, swift, and relevant quality of life solutions to our wounded and their families with no red tape.

Funding

We are currently seeking funding from individuals, associations, businesses and corporations, foundations, and through the Combined Federal Campaign (CFC). Our CFC # is 11459.


Geographical Reach

Our programs serve our OIF/OEF wounded and their families throughout the United States and overseas.


Audited Financial Statements

Our current IRS Form 990 is available on our website and by request.


Self-Assessment

Program expenses (our Mission) and fundraising costs are our primary means of self-assessment. IMSFF has consistently maintained program expenses at or above 90%, compared with national averages of 75-80%. Our current cost to raise $1 is only 3 cents, meaning our Fundraising costs are far below national averages as well.


Staff

We are able to provide a multitude of services to our wounded and their families through the work of a small staff (8 full-time and 7 part-time) along with over 120 dedicated volunteers, both in the United States and overseas.
