The Athena Foundation

When service ends, too many women veterans find themselves without a mission, without a team, and without the connection they once had. That’s why we founded the Athena Foundation. The Athena Foundation grew from a single weekend retreat of women who said, “I didn’t know what was missing — but I found it in the Athena Tribe”.  That moment became the spark for our program: Two Checkpoints to Home . A multi-year journey of deep connection, leadership, healing and community. We ran our first cohort — Tribe25  — and the change we witnessed was real: renewed confidence, authentic vulnerability, purpose reignited, sisterhood born. And months later, the relationships and connection continue to strengthen. Now we invite you to help us bring Tribe26  to life. Your donation will cover expenses for a courageous woman stepping into her next chapter. You invest in a lifelong sisterhood that doesn’t end after the retreat does. This brave group of women will leave the retreat with:   A restored sense of belonging and purpose beyond service. A tribe that knows their story and stands with them. Leadership, wellness, and connection built in nature, away from noise and distractions. A life transformed by being seen, heard and valued. Becoming part of this movement means more than supporting an event. It means standing beside the women who served — and helping them find home again.
