About the RSF
The Recon & Sniper Foundation was founded in 2015 by a group of Recon Marines, Scout Snipers, and Navy SARCs. The Foundation's mission is twofold, emergency assistance and veteran community engagement. We assist current service members and veterans from all branches of the Armed Forces. Assistance can be in the form of financial help, peer counseling, mental health treatment, or any other feasible and viable form of aid. Emergency requests are submitted via the Recon & Sniper Foundation website and assessed by experienced case managers, who ensure the request for assistance is legitimate. Our team fully considers the interests of the veteran and stewardship of our donors' gifts.
In addition to the mission of emergency assistance, the Recon & Sniper Foundation also provides various preventative mental health events throughout the year. From individual and group therapy in the mountains of Colorado at Rawah Ranch to veteran get-togethers in southern California, the Foundation provides veterans with a variety of ways to address their mental health, emphasizing prevention and long-term care.
The Recon & Sniper Foundation also supports veterans through Team RSF, our competitive sport subsidiary. Through Team RSF, veterans and service members are provided a network of support to pursue competitive sport outlets in areas such as USPSA, precision rifle, endurance sports, cowboy sports, and more. These men and women compete around the country representing the Recon & Sniper Foundation and to support the cause.
