The Semper Fi Fund provides immediate financial assistance and lifetime support to post 9/11 wounded, critically ill and injured members of all branches of the U.S. Armed Forces, and their families, ensuring that they have the resources they need during their recovery and transition back to their communities. We work to ensure that no one is left behind.
In 2003, a small group of military spouses sat around Karen Guenther's kitchen table wondering how they could help wounded service members returning home from Iraq. The Semper Fi Fund was officially incorporated in May 2004.
Today we serve wounded, critically ill and injured service members and their families from every service branch!
Help us celebrate 13 incredible years of growth and recovery.
The Semper Fi Fund is proud to partner with USAA in assisting our nation’s post-9/11 service members. Support from USAA has directly impacted those we serve and allows us to provide programs that make a difference in their lives. In their words: “The Semper Fi Fund Apprenticeship Program is awesome,” said Charles, an Army veteran who served in Iraq,…
