The Lone Survivor Foundation is a federally approved 501(c)3 non-profit organization.

The Need For over 10 years, America has been engaged in conflicts that have required every service branch, every type of military specialty, and every individual experience level to go to combat. The reality is, many of these service members are not fully ready for what they encounter in war.

Many come home with both visible and invisible injuries that will forever change their lives. The most serious of these injuries require unique interventions not always available in government institutions.

Without treatment, our service member’s injuries can have a negative impact on the quality of life for ourmilitary men and women and their loved ones. Focused, innovative treatment can provide tools to improve their overall quality of life and ultimately their future.

Lone Survivor Foundation was inspired by Retired Navy SEAL Marcus Luttrell, awarded the Navy Cross after his

actions during Operation RED WINGS which he describes in the NY Times best-seller, Lone Survivor.

“Many OEF/OIF Veterans have experienced a mild traumatic brain injury AND ALSO have PTSD related to their combat experience.”- Department of Veterans Affairs

The Ranch Vision One part of the LSF vision is to establish a ranch facility that will provide a center of excellence and will allow the LSF team to run short- and medium-term retreats tailored to the unique outdoor support LSF provides.

The LSF team is actively seeking land donations, special lease options, or the eventual purchase of the ranch property depending on budget capabilities.

LSF’s primary goal is to help wounded warriors and families now. Until the capital is raised to activate the ranch vision, LSF continues to host wellness retreats at various donated facilities.

Funding The LSF team is focused on executing the best programs, while creating an environment of efficiency and accountability. Funding for LSF comes from a number of sources including individual donors, donor advice funds, and corporations.

Our Mission The Lone Survivor Foundation (LSF) restores, empowers, and renews hope for our wounded warriors and their families using therapeutic support, health and wellness, inspiration, and nature, while emphasizing camaraderie, understanding, respect, and pride.

LSF RETREATS LSF retreats are focused on wellness and therapeutic support for service members and their families. The goal is to take individuals and families out of their normal environment, open the mind and emotions, and provide tools for moving forward successfully.

LSF retreats:

Are geared toward similar injury profiles, and if deemed necessary, individuals and families are invited to experience multiple retreats to help them move past significant issues.

Are currently five days in length and are held once a month. LSF is executing a generalized protocol that remains flexible to the specific group’s or individual’s needs.

Provide participants with several benefits including relaxation, peer network development, understanding of the issues, understanding of various tools and resources, and a renewed outlook for their future.

Our Vision The vision of the LSF is to provide exceptional therapeutic,outdoor, and unique opportunities that optimize recovery andhealing of affected American wounded service members andtheir families. The vision includes developing a referral system to support the full spectrum of healing and transformation for the wounded service member and their family.
