What The Station Foundation does

The Station Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization incorporated in the United States (EIN 45-2928042) and founded in 2012, headquartered in Bozeman, Montana. It delivers free, immersive therapeutic and wellness programs to U.S. Special Operations Forces service members, veterans, spouses, children, and Gold Star families. Service is organized into three pillars: Homecoming (warrior-and-family immersive programs at Base Camp Jimmy in Montana), Legacy (Gold Star Family support including The Crossing summer camp), and Interwoven (community-based outreach including Interwoven Virginia Beach). Program modules include the Transition Azimuth Check (TrAC), The Return (a Hero's Journey-based transition program), Emotion Coaching (four-week virtual course), Spouse Performance, songwriting/music therapy, and the Alumni Give Back Experience.

The foundation generates no commercial revenue; it is funded by individual and corporate donations, municipal and government grants (including a City of Virginia Beach grant), and fundraising vehicles such as GoFundMe and a RAGBRAI team supported by GORUCK's '1% For Those Who Serve.' All programs are provided at no cost to participants. Distribution is mixed-channel: direct delivery at Base Camp Jimmy and regional outreach sites, paired with self-serve virtual courses and Eventbrite registration. The organization publishes self-reported outcome metrics (32% improvement in creating healthy balance; 50% improvement in maintaining healthy balance; 26% improvement in sharing service meaning with children; 100% of participants agreeing warrior values aid reintegration).

Governance is by an independent board; the executive team comprises Founder and Executive Director Kevin Stacy, Director of Outreach Services Jamie Dockiewicz, and Director of Communications Jazlyn Greenwood. Strategic partners include Oboz Footwear, the Special Forces Foundation, JCOC, GORUCK, the City of Virginia Beach, and ThinkingAhead Executive Search. The foundation holds the GuideStar Platinum Seal of Transparency; no technology products, AI systems, or commercial offerings are described in the source material.

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Wounded Warrior Project: Largest U.S. nonprofit serving post-9/11 wounded veterans and their families, with broad programming across mental health, transition, and family support. Broad incumbent: overlaps in family wellness and transition services but at far larger scale and with a wider veteran population rather than SOF-specific focus.
• Blue Star Families: National nonprofit supporting military families through research, programming, and community-building across all service branches. Broad incumbent: comparable family-focused, community-driven nonprofit model, but broader military family population rather than SOF-only.
• Gary Sinise Foundation: Large nonprofit serving defenders, veterans, first responders, and their families through entertainment, housing, and wellness programs. Broad incumbent: shares family-support and wellness focus for the military community but at substantially larger scale and broader audience than TSF's SOF niche.

Direct peers

• Boot Campaign: National nonprofit supporting veterans and military families through wellness, transition, and family-strength programs including retreat experiences. Comparable on nonprofit, family-inclusive, wellness/reintegration focus and donor-driven GTM.
• Special Forces Foundation: Provides support to Green Berets and their families through grants and programming, including spouse and family initiatives. Direct comparable: SOF-specific nonprofit with overlapping family-support mandate; TSF's existing partnership on Green Beret Spouses underscores functional overlap.
• Boulder Crest Retreat Foundation: Operates multi-day rural retreats focused on combat-related PTSD, transition, and family wellness for veterans and their families. Direct comparable: nonprofit, retreat-based, family-inclusive healing model with a rural flagship facility and a growing national footprint.
• Travis Mills Foundation: Serves recalibrated veterans and their families through an immersive retreat program at a flagship facility in Maine. Closest direct comparable: nonprofit operating retreat-style healing programs for post-9/11 combat veterans and families, with outcomes-based programming and donor-funded model.
• Task Force Dagger Foundation: Provides rapid-response financial assistance and rehabilitative support to SOF service members, families, and wounded warriors. Direct comparable: SOF-focused nonprofit serving the same operator community with family-inclusive programming, raising donations from the same donor pool.

Emerging players

• Objective Zero Foundation: Nonprofit reducing veteran suicide through peer support, community, and technology-enabled connection. Emerging player with overlap on SOF invisible-wounds and suicide-prevention themes, complementing rather than directly competing with TSF's retreat model.
• Headstrong Project: Provides confidential, cost-free mental health treatment to veterans and their families through a network of clinicians. Emerging player with overlap on the invisible-wounds / family mental health side of TSF's mission, but delivered via clinical care rather than immersive retreats.
