SPECIAL OPERATIONS WARRIOR FOUNDATION
Empowering the Families of Fallen and Wounded Special Operations Forces since 1980
Mission
Special Operations Warrior Foundation (SOWF) supports America’s Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine
Corps Special Operations personnel through two programs: (1) Ensuring full financial assistance for
postsecondary education from an accredited two or four-year college, university, technical or trade
school, as well as educational counseling, preschool grants, and tutoring to the surviving children of
Special Operations personnel who lose their lives in the line-of-duty and, (2) Providing immediate financial
grants to severely combat-wounded and hospitalized Special Operations personnel and their families.
History
Special Operations Warrior Foundation (SOWF) was founded in 1980 after the daring attempt to rescue
53 American hostages in Iran, which ended in the tragic loss of eight servicemen who left behind
17 children. A battlefield promise to take care of those 17 children has become the noble mission of
the Special Operations Warrior Foundation to educate and empower over 1,300 children.
Future Vision
Entering our 40th year of service in 2020, Special Operations Warrior Foundation has launched the
Enduring Promise campaign. Donors, partners, and communities will unite to ensure the future success of
surviving children and families of fallen Special Operators for the next 40 years and beyond. In doing so, we
uphold our solemn commitment to all Special Operations Forces as they defend our freedom and security.
How we raise funds:
SOWF relies entirely on private donations to fulfill our mission and fund our programs. Donors’ generosity
provides the pathway to academic success for students and continuity of support for surviving spouses.
Clayton M. Hutmacher, Major General, USA (Ret.)
President & CEO Special Operations Warrior Foundation
Clay Hutmacher became the President and Chief Executive Officer of the
Special Operations Warrior Foundation in September 2018. He was a career United States Army Officer and retired in 2018 having served over 40 years in uniform.

Action Penetrator platoon leader, company operations officer, executive officer and commander of 1st Battalion, Regimental Commander, and the Commanding General of the U.S. Army Special Operations Aviation
Command.
Major General Hutmacher's last active duty assignment was the Director of Operations in the U.S. Special Operation Command, Tampa, FL. His previous assignment was as the deputy Commanding General of the United States Army Special Operations Command at Fort Bragg, NC.
