Become A Member

Vigilant Torch Foundation offers three distinct membership categories, each reflecting a unique relationship to our mission:

First, membership is open to individuals who have served or are currently serving within our select Special Operations community. This membership category includes options for an annual or lifetime membership. A second category is available to Department of Defense civilians currently assigned within that same community. Finally, a Torchbearer Society membership is available to donors who go above and beyond through sustained generosity, leadership, and long-term commitment.

Please review the multiple membership categories outlined below and select the one that best applies to your connection with the community or your support of the mission.

Your membership fee is deductible to the extent provided under applicable law.

Membership for Those Who Served or Currently Serve in Our Select Special Operations Community
