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 2026-2027 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.
Replacing a Presidential Service Badge
We are always standing ready to help those servicemembers who have lost or misplaced their Presidential Service Badge. We understand that those things happen for a variety of reasons. The good news: Honorees are eligible for a replacement badge.

A The Seal That Carries the Mission
At the heart of the Presidential Service Badge Foundation stands a powerful symbol: our seal. More than a design, it is a declaration.
Rooted in the visual language of the Great Seal of the United States, this emblem represents service with integrity, leadership with responsibility, and legacy with purpose. The eagle, steady and vigilant, reflects those who have answered the call to serve, often quietly, often without recognition, always with resolve. Its outstretched wings remind us that service does not end with a title or a uniform. It continues through mentorship, advocacy, and community impact.
The circular form of the seal speaks to continuity. Service is not a single chapter. It is a lifelong thread that connects past, present, and future. The stars signify unity and shared responsibility, reinforcing that no act of service stands alone. Together, they form a constellation of impact.
Encircling it all is the name Presidential Service Badge Foundation, a promise and a platform. Our Foundation exists to honor service, support badge holders and their families, and invest in initiatives that strengthen education, wellness, and opportunity. This seal represents stewardship over recognition, action over applause, and values that endure beyond the moment.
When you see this seal, you are not just looking at a symbol. You are witnessing a standard.
Thank you for standing with us as we carry this mission forward, honoring those who serve, have served, and continue to lead by example.
“Service does not end when the badge is set down.
It lives on in how we choose to honor it.”
