A Message from the Executive Director


Rangers and Friends of the Rangers –


It is with great pride that I announce our new Associate Partnership with the Association of the United States Army (AUSA). For those unfamiliar, AUSA is a distinguished nonprofit dedicated to supporting soldiers, their families, and the broader Army community through advocacy, education, and outreach. This partnership marks an exciting step forward for the National Ranger Memorial Foundation (NRMF), and we’re thrilled to align with an organization that shares our commitment to honoring service and sacrifice.


This collaboration brings a host of benefits for those connected to the NRMF—benefits that amplify our mission and extend our reach. Below, you’ll find a list of some of these advantages, from enhanced networking opportunities to increased support for our initiatives. But this is just the beginning. We’re actively working on several other significant projects, and we look forward to sharing more details with you soon. Stay tuned!


On another note, I’d like to remind everyone that the application window for our scholarships is now open and will close on April 30th. Rangers—whether active duty or retired—and their family members are eligible to apply. This is a fantastic opportunity to support education and growth within our community. To submit an application, simply click the link below.

We are also excited to share that we’ve recently secured additional sponsorships, a testament to the current & growing support for our objectives. We’ll be revealing these new partners in a special announcement in the coming weeks, so keep an eye out for that update.


We owe the success of the NRMF to the steadfast generosity of our sponsors and donors. On behalf of the Chairman and Board of Directors, we extend our heartfelt gratitude. Your invaluable support powers our mission to preserve the legacy of Rangers, honor their sacrifices, and strengthen our community. Without you, none of this would be possible—thank you!
