Gold Star Family Endowment Program

Gold Star Family Endowment Program

SEAL Family Legacy’s mission is to serve and support Gold Star Families with children. The Gold Star Family Endowment Program does this by providing $20,000 to at least two qualifying Gold Star Families with children 18 and under each year. The program is meant to provide financial assistance towards raising and providing for Gold Star Children. At least one Gold Star Family of a fallen Navy SEAL will be selected, as well as one Gold Star Family of a fallen servicemember of any branch that is regionally local to the Quad Cities IA/IL area.

After receiving the endowment the Gold Star Children are automatically enrolled in the Birthday Card Program. Through this program each Gold Star Child will received a birthday card and $100 on each birthday until they are eighteen, at which time they will receive a final birthday card and $200. Applying for and/or accepting a Gold Star Family Endowment will not exclude a family from receiving Legacy Buddies Grants.
