How We Help

To honor those who have served, we offer support through our Military Heroes Program and Veteran Entrepreneur Program

Military Heroes Program

Whether active duty or retired, our service members are pillars of their communities. Through our Military Heroes Program, the PenFed Foundation provides high impact grants that celebrate the leadership and selfless service of military members and support the transition from service to civilian life.

Supporting our heroes who supported us.

Together, we’ve supported our military community with over $50M in 22 years.

Veteran Entrepreneur Program

The Veteran Entrepreneur Program propels Veteran-led companies to new heights. Through a variety of programs, we support Veteran entrepreneurs from the idea stage to Series A and beyond. At any stage, the program will better prepare founders for fundraising efforts and bring clarity to the elusive process of accessing capital.

Homeward Trails Animal
Rescue Partnership

The PenFed Foundation has partnered with Homeward Trails to provide military families with the gift of a loving companion. During military service, pets can provide unconditional love and support for the families, and can help fill voids left by deployment. In addition to covering the adoption fees, Homeward Trails will be providing families with a welcome kit that includes the essentials for their new companion. Adopting a pet is life changing and can improve a family’s well-being by providing comfort and alleviating stress and anxiety.
