A 501(c)(3) nonprofit foundation
Operator Relief Fund pays for advanced post-traumatic stress treatment for Special Operations and Intelligence Community members and their spouses, at no cost to them.
A nonprofit foundation, not an investment fund. Donations fund care for operators and their families. Tax ID 92-1839851.
The operators people picture from the movies are real. They come home carrying invisible wounds, and many can't safely seek care through traditional channels without risking their careers, clearances, or identities. ORF exists so they don't have to face it alone.
We bring best-in-class wellness treatment and services to Special Operations Forces and Intelligence Community professionals struggling with post-traumatic stress and other complex trauma, and to their spouses.
Advanced Stellate Ganglion Block (ASGB) treatment, which calms the body's constant fight-or-flight state. ORF covers the procedure, the hotel room, and travel to and from a partner clinic.
Current and former SOF personnel and enablers from all branches, Intelligence Community members who deployed in support of SOF operations, and their spouses.
In their own words
“I have a calmness over me that I’ve not had in a long time.”From a letter by an ORF participant, signed “an OGA member,” read in ORF’s video
“This shot is helping give me a new hope, a motivation that I needed to keep my mind positive, not just for me, but for my wife and my kids.”

Donate here ORF’s 2025 Impact Report puts the cost of care at about $2,800 per participant (procedure + travel). Donations are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.Operators and spouses apply through ORF and are connected to one of our partner medical clinics. Your donation removes the cost barrier.
Eligible SOF and IC members and spouses request support through ORF. They may be asked for military orders or a DD214 to show SOF affiliation.
ORF funds the ASGB procedure at a partner clinic, plus the hotel room and travel. Partner clinics hold privacy and efficacy to the highest standards.
Through a network of community organizations, ORF connects participants to follow-on services such as life coaching, counseling, and functional medicine.
Behind each number is an operator, a spouse who has their partner back, and children who recognize their mom or dad again.
