The North Carolina Heroes Fund (NCHF) was founded in 2007 with a clear mission: to support the military men and women of North Carolina. Recognizing the challenges service members face returning home, our founder, Scott Stone, created NCHF to provide meaningful assistance to those who have defended our freedom.
For many veterans and active-duty military personnel, the transition back into civilian life can be extremely difficult, mainly when unexpected financial hardships arise. NCHF is dedicated to easing that burden by helping service members overcome short-term financial challenges related to their military service.
The journey home can be overwhelming on its own, especially when compounded by a life-altering injury. Recovery and rehabilitation often place additional strain on families, making financial assistance crucial. Requests for support from North Carolina’s injured and rehabilitating veterans are among the most common we receive. Since our founding, NCHF has served the needs of North Carolina’s military community, both active duty and veterans, by providing timely financial relief.
Over the past 18 years, NCHF has assisted more than 530 veterans and their families, awarding over $640,000 in direct support. Thanks to the generosity of our community, 95% of the funds we raise go directly back to supporting our service members, ensuring that those who have sacrificed so much receive the help they need during difficult times.
