Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Presidential Service Badge Foundation?

The Foundation is a mission-driven organization dedicated to honoring those who have served at the highest levels of the Executive Branch. We support badge holders and their families with resources, education, wellness pathways, and a community that understands the weight and privilege of service.

Who is eligible for Foundation programs and services?

Eligibility varies by program, but generally includes Presidential Service Badge holders, their spouses, children, and immediate family members. Some educational initiatives also extend to grandchildren.

What is a Presidential Service Badge?

It is an official United States insignia issued to individuals who perform honorable, dedicated service in direct support of the President of the United States, the Vice President, and senior Executive Branch offices. It represents trust, duty, and national stewardship.

How does the Foundation support families of badge holders?

We take a “village mindset” approach, recognizing that service is never carried alone. We offer wellness resources, scholarship opportunities, special events, peer-support channels, and guidance through accredited partners such as Veterans Service Officers, mental-wellness professionals, and vetted agencies.

Do you offer mental-wellness or suicide-prevention support?

Yes. We provide non-clinical guidance, resource referrals, crisis-support information, and VSO-aligned pathways for PTSD, mental wellness, and suicide-prevention support. We are not a medical provider, but we help families get connected quickly, respectfully, and confidentially.

Does the Foundation offer scholarships?

Yes. The Presidential Service Badge Foundation Scholarship Fund supports eligible students seeking degrees or certificate programs. Each application requires a short essay, mailed documentation, and verification that the applicant is a badge holder or a family member.

How do I apply for the scholarship?

Beginning with the 2026–2027 school year, applicants can download the form directly from the website, complete the required sections, attach the essay, and mail it as instructed. Online submissions are not accepted at this time.

Can the Foundation help with VA services?

We maintain a curated resource portal for VA support under the Executive Branch, including direct links to accredited representatives, Veteran Service Organizations, and federal assistance pathways.

What if I am not a badge holder or family member? Can I still get involved?

Absolutely. Our mission depends on a broader ecosystem of supporters. You can donate, volunteer, partner, or contribute professional expertise. You can also support our mental-wellness and legacy initiatives.

How does the Foundation use donations?

Every dollar fuels a continuum of care: scholarships, wellness programs, outreach for families, resource development, and community support. We run lean and operate with transparency; impact is always the North Star.

Are donations tax-deductible?

Yes. The Foundation is a federally recognized nonprofit. Official documentation is provided for every contribution.

How can I contact the Foundation?

You can reach us through the contact form on the website. For media, sponsorships, or partnership inquiries, please use the designated email listed in the Contact section.

Does the Foundation provide spiritual or non-denominational support?

Yes. We offer reflective, supportive, non-denominational spaces for prayer, grounding, and peace, including our unique Evergreen-inspired offering modeled after the quiet dignity of the Camp David Chapel.

What makes this Foundation different?

We honor service through a family-first ethos, a mental-wellness commitment, and a legacy-driven lens. We support the people behind the badge, the ones who stand watch, the ones who stand beside them, and the ones who stand behind them.
