Hero Heal Foundation is committed to transparency, impact, and integrity. Below are answers to the most common questions about how donations are used, what scholarships cover, and who qualifies for support.
Every dollar donated supports our mission of trauma-informed healing. Funds are allocated approximately as follows:

- Education & Outreach (15–20%): Supports trainings, awareness campaigns, and community partnerships.
- Operational Support (10–15%): Ensures nonprofit compliance, communications, and administration.
Scholarships may include full or partial coverage for:
- Retreat program fees
- Travel assistance
- Pre- and post-retreat integration support
- Meals, lodging, and program materials
They do not cover ongoing private therapy, recreational travel, or luxury accommodations.
Priority is given to individuals with demonstrated need and alignment with our mission, including:
- Military veterans
- First responders (police, firefighters, EMTs)
- Trauma survivors facing financial hardship
Applications are reviewed based on financial need, personal story, and fit. All information is kept confidential.
