Story by Lindsey Schmidt.

Several non-profit organizations supporting the special operations community took the stage during the SOF Week 2026 Non-Profit Round Robin. The fast-paced competition gave each organization three minutes to present its mission and impact before a live audience. Attendees voted on the presentations, with prize funding awarded by Global SOF Foundation to the top finishers.

ALLTRU received first place and $25,000 in prize funding. Led by women of the Special Operations community, they are dedicated to empowering leaders of character and action, while advancing the vital role of women in the deterrence and resolution of conflict. 

Project R3con earned second place and $15,000 in prize funding. Project R3con delivers targeted, science-backed regenerative care through stem cell therapies designed to address the complex neurological injuries experienced by those in the SOF community.
