Our Mission
The United States Presidential Service Badge Foundation exists to mobilize the power of those who have served and those who are serving in an effort to raise awareness about the importance of public service. We do this by showcasing the humble sacrifice of Badge recipients and the difference they have made to our nation.
Our Story
Founded in 2024, the United States Presidential Service Badge Foundation is not your ordinary charity. Its sole purpose is to enrich the lives of those people who support our soldiers in their moments of greatest need: their families. This is done through a scholarship fund beginning in the 2025-2026 Academic year.
Through our many philanthropic efforts, we seek to raise awareness of the connection between family and our military. With a particular focus on the Presidential Service Badge, the foundation seeks to educate the public and showcase those special men and women who earned the badge through their non-partisan efforts in supporting the Office of the President.
