Mission of Navy SEAL Foundation
The Navy SEAL Foundation's mission is to provide immediate and ongoing support and assistance to the Naval Special Warfare community and their families.
Our mission was not created by war, but it has been made more important and more difficult as a result of it. Established to serve U.S. Navy SEALs, Special Warfare Combatant-craft Crewmen, Naval Special Warfare (NSW) support personnel, and their families, the Navy SEAL Foundation offers critical support to Naval Special Warfare commands, active-duty personnel, their families, and veterans of NSW. As the duration and frequency of training and operational deployments continue, and the stress on the families and operators grows, this important community requires support today more than ever.
Navy SEAL Foundation's Three Core Areas of Support
Members of the Naval Special Warfare community, their spouses and their children make many sacrifices, both large and small, in service to our country. Our objective is to provide support and promote peace of mind to those who live with a high level of unknown factors as a matter of routine.
Family Services Show Compassion and Build Morale
We support families by easing their burden when an active-duty member of the NSW community is injured or killed in action. We help with memorial services and defray the financial costs for travel for immediate family members who live far away. We also assist families in maintaining a sense of normalcy during deployments by funding holiday celebrations, children's sports days and campouts, and partnering with YMCAs to offer fitness memberships and childcare services.
Educational Programs Encourage Life-long Learning
Active-duty NSW personnel, their spouses and their children benefit from scholarship programs and other educational assistance provided by the Navy SEAL Foundation. In cases where the Navy provides only tuition funds, we step up to help cover the cost of educational expenses such as books and lab fees. Our program for children of NSW operators killed in training or combat provides new computers every three years through the completion of their secondary education.
Legacy Activities Ensure That Service is Always Honored
The Navy SEAL Foundation is strongly committed to making sure that the extraordinary contributions made in defense of our freedoms by members of the NSW community are remembered. We provide funding for monuments and memorials to fallen operators across the country.

The San Diego Police Foundation’s work is the result of caring citizens like you. We help raise awareness of important unbudgeted or “discretionary” needs that will improve crime-prevention and law-enforcement efficiency. Then we put tax-deductible contributions to measurable work in local communities. In households where domestic violence tears at the fabric of families, the Foundation has helped many relationships escape the cycle of violence by funding a program that helps increase arrests and successful prosecutions. In units like S.W.A.T., grants help overcome the disadvantage of criminals often being better equipped than police. The Foundation is an independent 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization providing support for efforts that enhance police/community relations, crime prevention and public safety through grant funding for specialized equipment, training, and cooperative community programs. It is governed by volunteer directors.
SafetyNet, Smart Cyber Choices®
SafetyNet: Smart Cyber Choices® is a collaborative cyber safety education program of the San Diego Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force and the San Diego Police Foundation. This program was created in large part because law enforcement needs the help of informed adults and children to help reduce cyber victimization of kids. Keeping kids safe in the cyber world requires three things
- Keep current about what is happening in cyberspace
- Keep checking what kids are doing
- Keep communicating
Help us guide their cyber choices.

Bring It: Stem Cell Research Fundraiser
The Power to Heal
The human body has an amazing power to renew and heal itself. Still, over time, our bodies succumb to inherited and acquired diseases, as well as injury. Regenerative medicine may be able to undo some of that damage. Regenerative medicine might sound like the stuff of science fiction, but stem cells are making it possible.

The human body has an amazing power to renew and heal itself. Still, over time, our bodies succumb to inherited and acquired diseases, as well as injury. Regenerative medicine may be able to undo some of that damage. Regenerative medicine might sound like the stuff of science fiction, but stem cells are making it possible.
It's Happening Now
Regenerative medicine is alive and working right now at Sanford-Burnham. Researchers are harnessing the self-renewing nature of stem cells, moving toward treatments for injuries and illnesses previously thought untreatable. One promising project is the HeadNorth Chronic Spinal Cord Injury Project. This joint initiative of Sanford-Burnham and the HeadNorth Foundation weaves together advances in stem cell research and bioengineering. Your attendance at Bring It! directly funds the HeadNorth Project and other exciting stem cell research taking place at Sanford-Burnham—research that can revolutionize the understanding of diabetes, heart disease, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's disease, and a number of other conditions. Together we can improve the human condition and transform lives.
A Foundation for Childhood®

- Protection & Support
Originally founded as the Child Abuse Prevention Foundation of San Diego County, Promises2Kids is a 30-year-old nonprofit organization. Since 1981, Promises2Kids has led the fight against child abuse and neglect in the County of San Diego. No other organization in the area offers such a broad array of support systems, nor does any other organization in the area offer such a wealth of opportunity to connect with a wide variety of resources, programs, and collaborative partners focused on eliminating child abuse.
In the early nineties, the organization raised $12 million to build the A. B. and Jessie Polinsky Children’s Center. Prior to the opening of the Polinsky Center, the Hillcrest Receiving Home was the only emergency shelter for children in San Diego County, which was overcrowded and did not adequately meet the needs of abused and neglected children. The Polinsky Center is the County’s only emergency shelter for abused and neglected kids and provides shelter, protection and support for more than 3,000 children going through its doors each year. The Polinsky Children's Center is now a national model for the care and protection of abused children with individuals as far away as Saudi Arabia traveling to San Diego to learn about the facility.
Promises2Kids, then known as the Child Abuse Prevention Foundation, also first initiated the concept of a residential high school for foster youth. The Foundation subsequently raised $6 million for the creation of San Pasqual Academy, a model residential high school for foster children located near Escondido, just north of San Diego. The Academy opened in September 2001 and currently provides a stable home and education for 250 foster teenagers.
Since its inception, Promises2Kids has distributed nearly $21 million for the care and protection of abused and neglected children and provided services for more than 166,000 children in need including current and former foster youth.
