The Lone Survivor Foundation (LSF) is there to help America's wounded service members, veterans and their families adjust to the effects of their experiences and help them transition into what may be looked at as their 'new normal' - providing an understanding and acceptance of who they are as a person, a family, and a community. LSF provides support to service members, veterans and families from all military branches who are challenged with injuries. NCF hopes you will join us in supporting the amazing work of the Lone Survivor Foundation.

Thorn is a nonprofit technology company that builds software to defend children from sexual abuse. After nearly disappearing in the '90s, the spread of child sexual abuse material exploded with the rise of the internet, while child sex trafficking increased with exposure to a greater market online. Today, the problem is complex and still growing. In 2004 the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children reviewed 450,000 child sexual abuse files. In 2019, that increased to 70 million files. Thorn houses the first engineering and data science team focused solely on developing new technologies to combat online child sexual abuse. Please join NCF in supporting the critical work Thorn is doing to help create a safer world for children.
