Mission

Army ranger lead the way fund is an active duty, casualty assistance, recovery, transition and veterans organization that provides financial support to u.s. Army rangers and the families of those who have died, have been disabled or who are currently serving in harm's way around the world.

Programs

3 programs

Ranger and family health and wellness programs: with consecutive deployments since the start of the global war on terrorism, the preservation of this extremely pressured force is a necessity. When a ranger is deployed, so is his family. The long separations can be challenging and strenuous on the family unit. Family readiness groups (frgs), consisting of family members and other volunteers associated with a particular unit, act as first responders that serve to enhance the well-being, morale, and esprit de corp of the unit. Through our ranger and family health and wellness program, we provide the frgs in the regiment with grants to pay for these all-important family morale-boosting activities. Ltwf understands the strain and stress the families of this elite force endure; conservation of the family unit is paramount for the morale and focus of our rangers. When the ultimate sacrifice happens, ltwf will provide funds to get frg "first responders" to the side of the ranger wife and family during the arduous burial process. Army ranger lead the way fund supports moral function grants for all-important pre- and post-deployment morale-boosting activities. During the holiday season, ltwf provides gift cards to our more junior nco ranger families, determined by command, who are most in need and under financial strain during the holiday season.

Expenses: $402KGrants: $333K

Gold star program: when a ranger has paid the ultimate sacrifice, whether, in combat or training, army ranger lead the way fund believes there is a moral obligation to support the dependents of these heroes. Through this program we can honor and memorialize deceased rangers and their gold star families. To educate and bring public awareness of the needs of gold star families and the programs available to all army rangers through the lead the way fund organization.
