Battleworn Foundation · 501(c)(3)z

One every
65 minutes.

A veteran takes his own life. Add the first responders we don’t count, and the war back home is louder than the one overseas.

We cover the men who covered us — so they can lay down what they were never meant to carry alone, and walk back into their families surrendered to Christ.

— OUR MISSION —

We fully fund military veterans, active-duty service members, and first responders to attend the five-day Convergence Program — where men lay down the weight they were never meant to carry, and pick up the only Name worth carrying.

— THE CRISIS BEHIND THE DOOR —

He came home.
But he didn't come back.

The man you see at the kitchen table is not the man his wife married. He is still kicking down doors in his sleep, still running radio traffic from a call he didn’t save, still carrying every name he was told to forget.

We are not a counseling app. We are not another program. We are brothers who walk into the dark with him, point him toward the only Man who has been there already, and refuse to leave until something has been buried and something has been raised.

Don't be afraid of them. Remember the Lord, who is great and awesome, and fight for your brothers, your sons and your daughters, your wives and your homes.

— Nehemiah 4:14

— HOW IT WORKS —

From the front line, through fire, into the family.

No co-pay. No catch. Every dollar a donor gives covers a man who would never spend it on himself.

PHASE 01

Identified

A wife, a chaplain, a unit brother, a chief — someone who knows him puts his name in. We vet, we listen, we make sure he is ready to be met.

PHASE 02

Covered

Donors stand in the gap. The cost is paid before he ever sees a number. He shows up with nothing in his hand but his own story.

PHASE 03

Convergence

Five days in the field. Scripture, surrender, sweat, and the kind of conversation he has not had since the war — or maybe ever.

PHASE 04

Sent

He walks back into his home a different husband, a different father, a different brother. Battle Brothers stay in formation for life.

— A BROTHER'S VOICE —

“I came in carrying men I couldn’t save. I left carrying a Name that already saved me.”

FUNDED WARRIOR · CONVERGENCE COHORT

Name and unit withheld at his request.

“The world doesn’t need more men who are fine. It needs men who are forged.”

The Coverings

Donors don't fund a program. They cover a man.

Choose where you stand in the line.

Battle Watch

$25 / month

You stand watch. Monthly partnership that builds the bench, fuels the prayer wall, and keeps the lights on for the next brother through the door.

Shield Bearer

$100 / month

You raise the shield. A year of Shield Bearing covers two-fifths of one warrior’s Convergence — and joins you to a brotherhood of donors who refuse to look away.

Most Common

Standard Bearer

$6,000 one-time

You cover one warrior, in full. From identification to Convergence to the year of Covering that follows. One name. One life. One family rebuilt.

Banner

$25,000+

You carry the banner. Cover a cohort, fund a region, or partner as a church, business, or foundation to send four or more men through with aftercare in full.

The Battle Roll

Names withheld. Stories kept.

A living roll of the brothers who have walked through. Identities protected. Testimony honored.

A Bond That Doesn't Break

What happens after you give.

Day 0

A name moves to the top of the list.

Your gift attaches to a man already in the vetting line. We send you his Covering Card — first name only, where he serves, what he is walking into.

Day 14

A prayer wall opens.

You receive a quiet, private invitation to pray over him by name in the days before he leaves for Convergence. No marketing email. No ask.

Day 45

A letter from the field.

After Convergence, a handwritten or recorded message from him reaches you. Sometimes one sentence. Sometimes a tear-stained page. Always real.

Year One

You stay in formation.

For twelve months you remain his Covering — receiving milestone updates, anniversary check-ins, and an invitation to the field every spring.

Stand In

The next man is already in the line.
Will you cover him?

$6,000 covers one warrior, end-to-end. Any gift, of any size, lands.
