Victory Heights Foundation builds mental resilience for veterans, service members, law enforcement, and first responders — and the families who stand beside them.
We believe strength is built on two foundations: the body and the mind. One cannot stand without the other.
For the men and women who spend their lives protecting ours, the hardest battle often begins after the mission ends. Victory Heights exists to meet them there — with resilience programs that rebuild the whole person and the brotherhood that carries them forward.
Healing isn't complete until it overflows into someone else's life.

In Their Words
Stories of resilience
“My clarity, width, and depth increased a couple of months into the program. Months five and six, my sleep deficit started to decrease. By month six, dealing with stress was getting much easier — I was a lot slower to anger, able to recognize it coming on and head it off. That is a great feeling!”
— Veteran
Good to know
Your questions, answered
The questions we're asked most — about the programs, who they're for, and how giving works.
What does the program do?
A resilience building program — usually six months long — delivered one-on-one with a personal coach. It is structured brain-performance and mental-resilience training that works on sleep, focus, and how the nervous system handles stress. It is months of steady work, bringing veterans and first responders down out of the elevated, fight-or-flight state the job demanded of them, and back to a brain built for daily life.
Who is the program for?
High-consequence operators: active-duty military, veterans, EMS and firefighters, law enforcement, and the families of each. We work with individuals and with organizations. If you are a leader who wants to bring programs to your people, fill out the Request Support form and let's talk.
Victory Heights Foundation covers the cost for eligible program participants. Organizations may be eligible for a pilot program.
Is my donation tax-deductible?
Yes. Victory Heights Foundation is a registered 501(c)(3) public charity (EIN 93-2329799). Your gift is tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law, and a receipt is emailed to you.
Where does my money actually go?
95 cents of every dollar goes to funding participant programs, with the remainder covering the operations and fundraising that keep the foundation running. See Managing Our Funds for the breakdown.
Can I give monthly instead of all at once?
Yes, and it is the most useful way to give. Recurring gifts let us deliver more programs with confidence, because we can see the funding ahead of us.
