The Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund (IFHF) has constructed a series of twelve major treatment centers at military bases nationwide wherein advanced care is provided for traumatic brain injury, post-traumatic stress disorder, and other severe injuries suffered by American military personnel. Upon completion of construction, ownership of each center was transferred to the Department of Defense, which is responsible for the centers’ staffing and ongoing operations. Now, IFHF provides ongoing support for these centers to assist with additional needs important to patient care. All funding comes from donations from the American public. This program’s goal is to ensure that our nation’s wounded heroes in uniform receive the best possible treatment allowing them to enjoy a full and productive life.
IFHF does not provide grants or other payments to individuals or organizations. IFHF’s sole program is funding treatment centers for military personnel suffering the effects of traumatic brain injury, post-traumatic stress and other severe injuries. IFHF’s initial program involved providing grants to families of military personnel lost in performance of their duty; however, in 2005 the federal government substantially increased its support for these families, and IFHF shifted its mission to supporting our nation’s wounded heroes. More information on the previous grant program can be found here.

While the DoD is responsible for operating and maintaining these centers once IFHF builds them, additional needs arise that may be outside of the DoD budget. For example, IFHF can provide funding for additional staff, ongoing research and purchase new and sometimes experimental equipment that can help in treatment, while also replacing and updating existing equipment. While the DoD is also continuously upgrading these centers, as a private non-profit organization, IFHF is able to provide support quickly and more effectively than the government, due to the support of our many generous donors.
