Provide educational scholarships to the spouses and children of America’s fallen or disabled military and first responders — meeting sacrifice with hope through education.
A single mission defines Folds of Honor Foundation’s giving: educational scholarships for the spouses and children of America’s fallen or disabled military members and first responders. The largest grants in the record flow to scholarship distribution, including a $31,660,249 grant to Tulsa Community Foundation in 2023 and a $30,651,656 grant in 2024, showing a scale far above a typical program grant. Alongside that core scholarship channel, the foundation also supports the HOPE Military Program through PGA REACH, with repeated contributions in 2023, 2024, and 2025. The recent-grants list shows a broad scholarship network that reaches universities and schools across multiple states, from Texas A&M University-College Station and the University of Alabama-Tuscaloosa to Liberty University and the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill. Its funding pattern is built around education access rather than general philanthropy, with awards described as scholarship support or program contributions tied to military families and first responders. The foundation’s public charity structure and individual-focused mission align with direct educational assistance for beneficiaries connected to service and sacrifice.
Education is the center of the foundation’s work, and scholarship awards appear across higher education and K-12 settings. In 2025, it gave $406,184 to Texas A&M University - College Station for scholarship support, $389,761 to the University of Alabama - Tuscaloosa for scholarship support, and $340,831 to the University of Oklahoma - Norman for scholarship support. K-12 awards are also present, including $312,500 to St Anne-Pacelli Catholic School in Columbus, Georgia, and $261,311 to Fayetteville Christian School in Fayetteville, North Carolina, both labeled scholarship support. The foundation also backs a military-specific initiative through a $500,000 contribution to PGA REACH for the HOPE Military Program in 2025. These grants indicate a consistent emphasis on tuition and education access for military families and first responders across different stages of schooling.
The grant-size profile is highly uneven: the 25th percentile is $479,626, the median is $15,575,828, and the 75th percentile is $30,903,804. That spread reflects a structure that includes very large scholarship allocations alongside much smaller program-level contributions. The recent grants show repeat giving across years, especially to Tulsa Community Foundation and PGA REACH, which appear in multiple grant years. The foundation is a public charity and funds individuals, with restricted, program-specific support described as scholarship funding and direct financial assistance tied to education. The available records do not show an open application process, so the pattern points more to administered scholarship support than unsolicited grantseeking.
