context_page_description: The Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund is a non-profit organization that currently builds advanced treatment centers to provide care to military personnel suffering from traumatic brain injury and post-traumatic stress. Since its inception in 2000, IFHF has provided over $200 million to treat service members with TBI and PTS and those with amputations and severe burn injuries, in addition to helping families of US military personnel killed in action.
context_section_description: IFHF's first initiative was to provide support to families of both the United States and British military personnel lost in performance of their duty, mostly in service in Iraq and Afghanistan. In the years from 2000 to 2005, the Fund provided close to $20 million to spouses and dependent children, and to parents of unmarried service members. In 2005, federal legislation substantially increased the benefits to these families, and IFHF redirected its efforts.
