 )(3) nonprofit organization that provides educational scholarships to the
  spouses and children of military members who have fallen or been disabled
  while serving in the United States Armed Forces. Beginning in 2022\, Fold
 s of Honor expanded its mission to include first responders\, including po
 lice\, fire fighters\, EMTs\, and paramedics.          This move reflects
  our purpose to meet sacrifice with hope and show first responders and the
 ir families that they are not alone. There are nearly 2 million first resp
 onders in the United States who respond to approximately 240 million calls
  made each year. Every time they respond to one of these calls\, they are
  putting their life on the line. In 2021 alone\, 669 law enforcement offic
 ers and 135 fire-fighters perished while on duty in the U.S.          Appr
 eciation for U.S. military service members and First Responders is the sin
 gle most unifying position held by Americans. On this we agree: those who
  protect our freedom and our families deserve our unwavering support.
           The Folds of Honor educational scholarships support private-scho
 ol tuition or tutoring in grades K-12 as well as post-secondary tuition\,
  tuition for college\, technical or trade school and post-graduate work\,
  including a master’s degree\, doctorate\, or professional program. Funds
  for a second bachelor’s degree or trade/technical program certification a
 re also available.          Since its inception in 2007\, Folds of Honor h
 as awarded over 52\,000 scholarships totaling more than $240 million in al
 l 50 states. Among the students served\, 41 percent are minorities. It is
  rated a four-star charity by Charity Navigator and Platinum on GuideStar\
 , with 91 cents of every dollar donated going directly to scholarships.
           Folds of Honor was founded as a 501(C)(3) nonprofit organization
  in 2007 by Lieutenant Colonel Dan Rooney \, a PGA Member and F-16 fighter
  pilot currently stationed at Eglin AFB Florida as a member of 301st Fight
 er Squadron and served three tours of duty in Iraq. As he returned home fr
 om his second tour of duty in Iraq on a domestic flight\, the airline pilo
 t announced they were carrying the remains of a fallen soldier\, asking pa
 ssengers to respectfully remain seated while the casket deboarded. He watc
 hed as the family of the deceased walked somberly alongside the flag-cover
 ed casket. Among them was the young son of the fallen Corporal. Seeing the
  other side of the war through the eyes of this fallen soldier’s child was
  life-altering. He decided he had to do something to pay tribute to Americ
 an service members and their families\, and thus\, Folds of Honor was born
 .          For more information or to donate in support of a Folds of Hono
