Glen Doherty Memorial Foundation
About
The Glen Doherty Memorial Foundation is a charity that helps members of the Special Operations community move from military service into civilian careers. It offers scholarships for traditional education and stipends for vocational or professional training to current and former Special Operations professionals from all branches of the military. Its goal is to give them the means they need to make that transition and succeed in civilian work.
The foundation honors Glen Doherty, a Winchester native and U.S. Navy SEAL who was one of four Americans killed in the September 11, 2012 attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya. Inspired by his love of learning and passion for adventure, it aims to bring personal advancement to as many Special Operators as possible. It also honors the memory of all those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice defending the nation.
