TMF 2026 Annual Appeal Campaign
Heroes Need You
Your gift transforms the lives of recalibrated veterans and their families throughout the country. With your support, we can benefit hundreds of veterans and their families with our programs in 2027!
The Travis Mills Foundation Mission
We support recalibrated veterans and their families through long-term programs that help them rediscover strength, connection, and community - always at no cost to them.
Our Programs
Warrior PATHH
The Warrior PATHH (Progressive & Alternative Training for Helping Heroes) program is an intensive, nonclinical training experience that helps combat veterans and first responders transform struggle into strength. Through proven practices like mindfulness, movement, journaling, and guided group work, participants gain lifelong tools to manage stress, build resilience, and rediscover purpose. Warrior PATHH empowers heroes not just to heal, but to thrive through post-traumatic growth.
Caregiver
TMF provides programming designed specifically for caregivers of recalibrated veterans to encourage self-care, rest, relaxation and bonding with others in relatable situations. These include spouses, partners, parents and even siblings.
Family Program
The Family Program is for the recalibrated veteran, spouse, and children, or a guest. The schedule is packed with adapted sports and activities to meet the needs of all. However, participation is not required; families are welcome to use the time to rest and relax. Family programming is offered year-round, including kayaking, zoo visits, wheelchair basketball, archery, dog sledding, ice fishing, snow shoeing and more.
Recalibrate Program
The Recalibrate Program capitalizes on a participant’s motivation after attending a Retreat by providing financial assistance, goal setting, and long-term follow up. This program has provided everything from helping to pave a driveway, provide in-home cleaning services, to a computer to help with a home business.
Ambassador Program
In our Ambassador program, recalibrated veterans who have attended a program at our Retreat are selected and trained to represent TMF at various events across the country. It is a way for our participants to continue to be more involved with the organization, give back, and share their story of the impact TMF has had on them.
Virtual Program
Virtual programming was developed in response to the pandemic. This type of programming continues because we recognized that interacting with others without the hassle of travel and missing activities, school and work is better for some families.
Offsite Program
The Foundation, in partnership with the Georgia Aquarium, brings recalibrated veterans to swim with the gentle giants of the sea. The Foundation also hosts dinners and events based on the location of participants and other programs with partner organizations.
Looking Ahead
Our 2027 Goals
Reach More Veterans
Expand access to TMF programming for more eligible veterans, including previously unreached Post-9/11 veterans, Warrior PATHH alumni and veterans who qualify through expanded eligibility.
Expand Programming Opportunities
Build on Warrior PATHH, HHERO and other TMF programs by expanding off-site, adaptive, winter and virtual experiences, creating more opportunities for veterans to participate and stay connected beyond their time on campus.
Build for the Future
Strengthen TMF’s capacity to serve more veterans and their families by developing new partnerships, improving existing spaces, furnishing new areas and investing in the resources needed to support future growth.
Thank you for your support.
As the Travis Mills Foundation reflects on 2026 and the lives changed through the programs and support we provide, we are honored to reach out to you during our annual giving campaign. Every day, we are inspired by the resilience of the veterans, first responders, and families we serve.
Whether it’s a participant challenging themselves on the ropes course, a veteran finding renewed purpose through Warrior PATHH, or a family discovering connection and support through our programs, each journey looks different. But one thing remains constant: the support of people like you makes these opportunities possible.
By giving today, you stand beside the Travis Mills Foundation in our mission to support America’s service members, first responders, and the families who stand alongside them. Your generosity helps us continue creating opportunities for connection, growth, and lasting support, both at the Foundation and beyond our grounds.
We are deeply grateful for your generosity, your trust, and your belief in this mission. Together, we can continue to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those who have given so much.
Never Give Up. Never Quit.
With immense gratitude and hope,
