Infinite Hero Foundation Grant

The Infinite Hero Foundation, established in 2012, is committed to supporting military service organizations by funding innovative and effective programs that address service-related mental and physical injuries. With over $5.7 million awarded to 51 different organizations, the foundation operates as an investment fund for nonprofit entities developing cutting-edge treatments for service-related challenges faced by active duty military personnel, veterans, and their families. Their focus lies in identifying and empowering initiatives that redefine the standard of care for military heroes through innovation and effectiveness. The foundation will accept Letters of Interest (LOIs) for the 2025 grant cycle from January 1 to June 15, 2025. Eligible applicants must be 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations with missions aligned with Infinite Hero’s values and must demonstrate a commitment to pioneering technology, practices, or treatments related to mental and physical recovery. Programs considered for funding must be offered at no cost to beneficiaries and must serve active duty military members, veterans, or their families within one or more of five focus areas: Physical Recovery, Brain Health (including TBI and PTS), Suicide Prevention, Veteran Leadership, and Military Families. Grants of up to $100,000 per year per cycle may be awarded based on alignment with Infinite Hero’s mission, demonstrated need, and the quality of the proposed budget. Grant funds are strictly to be used for program costs and cannot be allocated toward fundraising, administrative overhead, or disallowed activities as specified in the exclusion criteria. Applicants must also provide a clear evaluation plan with measurable qualitative and quantitative outcomes and must agree to submit progress reports, including an interim report at six months and a final report within two years or after funds are expended. The foundation outlines several exclusions including but not limited to fundraising events, operational or staffing costs, equine therapy outside innovative spaces, camps, travel expenses, capital projects, major research, religious or political endeavors, grants to individuals, and longstanding funded projects. These restrictions help ensure that grants are directed exclusively toward impactful and innovative programming. Selected LOI applicants will be notified by August 15, 2025. Invited organizations will then receive access to the Common Grant Application, due by September 15, 2025. No late applications will be accepted. Final decisions are made by the Infinite Hero Board of Directors, and funds are distributed by the end of the calendar year following execution of a grant agreement.
