About the Special Operations Charity Network

Special Operations Charity Network (SOCN) is a nonprofit organization founded in 2015 by volunteers within the Special Operations Forces community. Initially, SOCN provided support and resources to address the unspoken needs of this community. SOCN created a strong support network for those who have served in these specialized units.

Currently, the SOF community consists of over 70,000 Special Operations Soldiers and Enablers, along with their counterparts in the conventional forces, totaling around 2,009,000. Additionally, there are 17.9 million veterans in the US. These Warriors need assistance to mend their minds, bodies, and spirits due to the cumulative effects of combat exposure and other trauma. 

By extending our dedication to improving the well-being of the SOF community to all current military, veterans, and first responders, SOCN aims to address the issues related to cumulative physical and psychological stress. Through our programs and initiatives, SOCN strives to provide the necessary support to help these individuals heal and thrive.
