The Wingman Foundation is a charitable organization within the Armed Forces community, founded in 2014 by Marine Aviators in San Diego, California. It focuses on supporting the families of aircrew who are involved in flying mishaps, combat, or related incidents, with an emphasis on providing for costs associated with losing a loved one and offering scholarship opportunities for the children of fallen aviators. The foundation aims to establish a sustained commitment to ‘never leave a wingman behind’ by moving beyond ad hoc fundraising to structured assistance for those affected. In addition to immediate family support, it has launched specific scholarship programs, including the Captain Jeff Kuss Memorial Aviation Scholarship, to address long-term educational needs. The organization operates with a small team and serves a niche within the broader military aid landscape, distinguishing itself by focusing on aviation-related losses and their impacts on families.
