Military Warriors Support Foundation

What Military Warriors Support Foundation does

Military Warriors Support Foundation (MWSF) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2007 by retired Lt. General Leroy Sisco, USA (Ret), headquartered at 211 N Loop 1604 E #250 in San Antonio, Texas. Its mission is to provide programs supporting combat-wounded veterans, unmarried Gold Star spouses, and their families across four pillars: housing, transportation, outdoor recreation, and leadership development. The flagship offerings are Homes4WoundedHeroes and Homes4GoldStars (mortgage-free homes with three years of family and financial mentoring), Transportation4Heroes (payment-free vehicles with one to two years of mentoring), Skills4Life (peer-to-peer recreational therapy at hunting, fishing, and golfing events), Leadership4Life (a nine-month personal growth program), and Hope4Heroes (one-year financial mentorship and veteran-owned small business support). Awarding channels include the 4Heroes Ranch (2,000 acres in Junction, TX), the Skills4Life Ozark Retreat (Stover, MO), and the under-construction Eagles Landing in Utah. The organization has cumulatively awarded nearly 1,000 mortgage-free homes and nearly 200 payment-free vehicles across all 50 states, with participants reportedly eliminating over $29 million in personal debt through mentoring.

MWSF's operating model is donation-driven: revenue consists of individual donations, corporate sponsorships, foundation grants, vehicle donations processed via Vehicles4Heroes, and event-based fundraising (George Strait concerts, golf tournaments, clay shoots, fishing tournaments). The state that 95% of donations flow directly to programs over the last five years is a central efficiency claim. The go-to-market is event-driven, with celebrity endorsement from George Strait enabling approximately 120 home presentations across 32 states over 14 years, and a Tier 1 financial-institution sponsor network including Wells Fargo (since 2015), Bank of America, Chase Auto, Truist, and Lithia & Driveway. All programs are delivered at no cost to eligible beneficiaries; the vetting process uses an application portal with document upload capabilities. The organization carries Charity Navigator 4-star, GuideStar Platinum Transparency Seal, and 2024 GreatNonprofits Top-Rated credentials, and is led by CEO/Founder Leroy Sisco, Executive Director B. Ken Eakes, EVP Casey Kinser, and SVP Tammy LeValley.
