Q:" Why not give the money directly to the Operating Partners?" 

A: In addition to a list of reporting requirements, every year our due diligence team reviews the financials of each OP to make sure they are still in line with our strict financial requirements.   

Q: "How much money does The Patriot Fund receive and give?"

A: In 2023, we raised $1,700,000 and distributed the funds in amounts ranging from $7,500 to $130,000! With 6 Operational Partners getting $100,000 or more!

Q: "I cannot make this date,"  how can I still help?

A: Purchase Sponsorships, attend the dinners/galas, and offer to assist our planning teams for events.  Contact us at [email protected] and we'll figure a way for you to get involved!
