This funding line allows targeted donations to support SF Warrant Officer education and recognition. Establishing this fund allows SF 180A Warrant Officers and others to contribute to supporting events for the SFWO Institute. The fund will be available for graduations, awards, and events during professional development gatherings among other uses.  This fund will allow targeted donations to and payments from a fund that supports SF Warrant Officer education and recognition. Establishment of this fund allows the SFA to serve the Regiment in accordance with our mission statement of "Perpetuating SF Traditions and Brotherhood" and "Promoting the General Welfare of the SF Community". As ODA Executive Officers and through other assignments throughout the course of their careers, the WOs that benefit from our support will become advocates for SFA and encourage greater participation in the Association.

As natural disasters such as the recent hurricanes and wildfires have impacted our Members, the Special Forces Association has taken a role in emergency relief efforts. The Special Forces Association Emergency Relief Fund is designed to provide monetary support to eligible members in good standing in times of natural disasters. Natural disasters are defined as a disaster caused by natural forces rather than by human actions (e.g. earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, fires, etc.). Applicants must be current and in good standing in the SFA or the dependent spouse, child or grandchild of a member in good standing. Family members of a deceased member in good standing may also apply. Grants to any member will not exceed $2,500.00 and are subject to approval by the National Board of Officers. Initial grants, not to exceed $500.00, may be granted by the Executive Director with verbal approval from the SFA President. Grants in excess of $500 must be approved by the majority of the National Board of Officers. These funds are not for reimbursement of deductibles for insurance purposes, upgrades not covered by insurance or use for basic necessities unless related to a natural disaster. The SFA Emergency Relief Fund is a separate account that derives its monies from the contributions of SFA members, SFA chapters and charitable individuals, parties and corporations.Your donation helps fund these efforts by providing needed resources which help the SFA deliver aid to hard hit Members.
