Since our founding in 2012, we have been, and remain today, committed to a single, unwavering mission: helping shadow warriors and their families flourish.

We achieve our mission by creating/producing unique events to raise funds, which we allocate to Operating Partners who provide direct services to Shadow Warriors and their families.

Educating the children of shadow warriors has been at the forefront of our mission. As the children born during the GWOT conflict continue to age, our focus is evolving with their need — from providing education funding to investing in career advancement and mentorship.

Over the years, we found the most successful connections were made at events where beneficiaries were directly connected to companies.

Following that model this year, we set out to build the bridge between our beneficiaries and their future career opportunities. A highlight of our annual activities was our Washington, DC, career fair, which attracted 14 distinguished companies and welcomed 27 eager beneficiaries. This platform served as a bridge, connecting talent with opportunities. Beneficiaries met with hiring representatives, underwent one-on-one peer reviews of their resumes, as well as mock interviews, and had professional headshots taken. A month out from the career fair, we have one full-time job offer and one full-time internship offer and are tracking several other potential successes.

Spookstock plans to further expand on our career efforts in the coming year with an expanded career fair in November of 2024 in Washington, DC.

In 2022, Spookstock expanded its scope to include assisting active duty and retired shadow warriors and their families who bear the after-effects of warfare. There is such demand that the Spookstock Foundation formed the Operator Relief Fund in 2023.

Our shift in 2022 to support returning heroes in need of treatment who are struggling with the impact of complex and compounding injuries sustained during their service, continues to uncover a growing number of warriors in need. The effects are not limited to the warriors themselves and the outcomes can devastate entire families. Moreover, while the public generally views SOF personnel as male, we see an emerging demand among female clandestine operators.

Since 2021, our investment of over $2.96M has funded various treatments and services for over 250 suffering shadow warriors and their spouses with promising results.
