The Donovan and Bank Foundation is a North Carolina based 501(c)(3) non-profit comprised of four interrelated programs: The JANUS Program, the Special Operations Experience, The Donovan & Bank Society and the Innovative Wellness Program.
We focus on the critical elements of transition: finding a new purpose, decoupling from military identity, and staying connected to a tribe/community.
We are purpose built to help Special Operators focus on prioritizing fulfillment over employment. We are not a job placement organization, though our exclusive process and extensive network often leads to career opportunities and successful employment for those we serve.
We are designed to energize SOF warriors to begin the transition process early. Because our team is mostly former Special Forces, we have a unique level of credibility and access with our constituents that allows us to reach them in a way others cannot. Though we focus on Army Special Forces (Green Berets), we have developed a culture and reputation to help anyone who finds their way to the foundation.
The JANUS Program delivers transition assistance products and services including one-on-one counseling, transition workshops, leadership seminars and wellness innovation education.
The Donovan and Bank Society is an active community that provides Special Operators with a way to successfully reintegrate while staying connected to their tribe.
The Special Operations Experience (SOE) is The Foundations primary fundraising effort. It gives civilians the chance to experience Special Operations training firsthand and provides networking for transitioning Special Operators
The Innovative Wellness Program provides awareness, access and funding for cutting edge treatments for TBI and PTS (Stellate Ganglion Block, Ketamine Infusion, MeRT, Ibogaine and others) which are difficult or impossible to access through the Department of Defense medical system or the Veterans Administration.
