FEDERAL LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS FOUNDATION

What FEDERAL LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS FOUNDATION does

The Federal Law Enforcement Officers Foundation (FLEOA Foundation) is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization founded on September 14, 1993, in Washington, DC and reincorporated in New York on January 14, 2015. It serves more than 30,000 federal law enforcement officers across 60+ federal agencies, providing emergency financial support, scholarships, and recognition programs to officers and their families during hardship and after line-of-duty events. The foundation reports awarding $3.5M+ in emergency financial support since inception, with 93% of donations applied to those in need.

The foundation operates with 100% volunteer leadership and approximately five staff, running programs including an annual awards ceremony, a scholastic awards program, and a "Stop the Suicide Spike" mental health awareness initiative. Its revenue model is contribution-based: individual donations, corporate sponsorships (Motorola Solutions Foundation, LexisNexis, PROFEDS, Tunnel to Tower Foundation), Combined Federal Campaign payroll deductions (CFC #54726), and consumer sweepstakes income through the Dream Giveaway affiliate program. Notable recent leadership includes President Jon Adler, Executive Director John Bottone, Chairman David S. Mack, and Treasurer Marco Dias, with former ATF Special Agent Pete Forcelli added as Director of Law Enforcement Affairs in 2024. There is no technology product or platform architecture; operations are administrative and program-driven.
