Empowering Our Nation’s Heroes

Since 2001, our mission is to champion our military through investment, advocacy and outreach. PenFed Credit Union generously covers most of the administrative costs and salaries of The PenFed Foundation, so more of your donation goes directly to our programs.
To honor those who have served, The PenFed Foundation for Military Heroes offers support through two programs.

Veteran Entrepreneur Program

We elevate veteran and military spouse founders by providing free, equity-free access to mentorship, startup capital, and a strong network of investors and industry leaders.

Military Heroes Program

We provide grants that celebrate the leadership and selfless service of military members and support the transition from service to civilian life.
