The Muse Foundation

“Forging Leaders by Honoring Heroes”

An all-volunteer 501(c)(3) public charity dedicated to the children of America’s Special Operations heroes.

“In the thunder of chaos, your roar became my heartbeat.”

— Kurt Muse

Our Vision

To stand as the tip of the spear for a grateful nation by providing the children of America’s Special Operations heroes with the education their parents’ courage and sacrifice have earned.

Our Mission

The Muse Foundation provides grants for merit-based academic scholarships for the children of U.S. Army Special Operations soldiers. These warriors live in total anonymity. Their families carry silent pride. We quietly help send their next generation to college.

Our Partners

All scholarship candidates come from these three partner organizations — the units that embody the quiet professional.

The Unit Scholarship Fund The Unit Scholarship Fund
Night Stalker Foundation Night Stalker Foundation
Rangers Scholarship Fund Rangers Scholarship Fund

100% of your contributions to the Muse Foundation flow directly to these three funds on behalf of the selected candidates.

Kurt and Anne Muse

Why We Do This

Kurt is alive today because Delta Force operators and Night Stalker pilots risked everything during Operation Acid Gambit. That debt can never be fully repaid — but it can be honored.

Anne and Kurt are personally committed to this mission. Through the Muse Foundation they turn gratitude into action, ensuring the next generation of these heroic families receives the education and opportunity their parents have earned.

Will you join us?

Every gift is tax-deductible. Every dollar reaches the families of the quiet professionals who stand ready so the rest of us can live free.

The Kurt and Anne Muse Leadership Foundation, doing business as the Muse Foundation, is an IRS-registered 501(c)(3) public charity. All donations are tax-exempt and tax-deductible.

White symbolizes purity of intent; blue and green allude to proud military legacies. Gold and black lines honor the U.S. Army for saving Kurt Muse in Operation Acid Gambit on 20 December 1989.
