About

In Carlsbad Village, the SEAL-Naval Special Warfare Family Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit (EIN 27-1963880) founded in 2008 to fund direct support programs for the families of Navy SEALs and Special Warfare combat-support personnel. The foundation's family-readiness pillar provides pre- and post-deployment gatherings, children's education assistance, and spousal support networks, drawing on therapeutic resources from Coastal Therapy Group and other North County behavioral health providers. More than 90 percent of all raised funds flow to direct services, with the remaining allocation covering program administration and operational overhead at the foundation's Carlsbad Village Drive headquarters. The Fallen Heroes program delivers long-term bereavement care and community support to families of service members who made the ultimate sacrifice. Active-duty support programming operates in coordination with NSW command leadership and local faith communities including Carlsbad Community Church, where military family ministries and resilience workshops strengthen warrior and family wellbeing. The foundation reported $2.2 million in total assets and distributed $457,500 in direct grants during the 2023 fiscal year, covering operational readiness, family resilience events, and Gold Star family support across local, national, and global NSW communities.
