The U.S. Marshals Survivors Benefit Fund is a private nonprofit organization established to assist the surviving families of active United States Marshals, Deputy U.S. Marshals, Marshals Service employees, and Special Deputy U.S. Marshals who are killed in the line of duty. It provides charitable and educational disbursements and offers immediate financial assistance, typically within 24 hours of a line-of-duty death, to help cover funeral costs and other expenses. Founded in 2012 in response to the loss of ten Deputy and Special Deputy U.S. Marshals in 2011, the organization operates independently of the U.S. Marshals Service. Based in Bozeman, Montana, it operates as a private charitable corporation with IRS 501(c)(3) status, and donations are tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law. Beyond direct financial assistance, the fund supports programs that preserve the memory of fallen heroes.
