The Red Circle Financial Assistance Grants were developed to support families of former or current US Military Special Operations in the event of an unforeseen bereavement. Although there are many great charities that serve the Special Operations community most take weeks to months before funds can be deployed to help people in need. This is where Red Circle Foundation comes in; we can act within minutes and provide immediate assistance to bridge this funding gap.
If you are interested in applying, please download our application and determine whether you qualify. Then follow the instructions to complete and mail the application to our office. We will contact you after we review your application to discuss qualifications and next steps.
Red Circle Foundation was founded by former Navy SEAL Brandon Webb with the intent to be a QRF (Quick Reaction Force). Emailed applications should expect to receive a decision within 24 hours or less. Please note that money is never guaranteed and all monies are sent directly to the creditor.

Born in Newport Beach, California, John was an avid swimmer, water polo player, surfer and life guard. John's inherent love of water eventually carved his path to become a Navy S.E.A.L. He served his country for six years before an honorable discharge in March 2001. That same month, John set off on a new adventure and married his love, Jacqueline Manley.
Six months after his discharge from the Navy, John was called back to service following 9/11. He served as an independent contractor supporting the government's initiatives over-seas. In 2004, John along with two buddies, spun up Indigen Armor Corp. to produce armored vehicles that blended into the environments in which they operated. Indigen Armor eventually became one of three business units under the umbrella of Defense Venture Group (DVG). In 2009, ten months before John passed away, he sold equity stake in the company to an investment banking firm. His concepts are deployed throughout the world protecting American lives.
At 33, John left behind a legacy. His passion, determination, courage and leadership allowed him to accomplish his dreams. John's spirit will live on through his life's work as well as through his family, friends and three awesome children, Cameron, Riley and Matthew. He was one-of-a-kind.
The John M. Zinn Enrichment Scholarship is designed to send the children of fallen SOP men to camps, clinics, or enrichment programs which will allow the child to learn a "passion" of their father's. Growing up without a father is tough. Everyone around you talks about his memory or how much you "look like you father", but now is the chance to learn something he would have taught you. It could be how to shoot a gun, how to ride a wave, surfing, sky diving, driving a boat, camping, skiing, etc. The John M. Zinn Enrichment Scholarship will fund young children ages 8 to 18 to "follow in their father's footsteps".
To be considered for this scholarship. Please submit a collage of 3 to 6 pictures of your father "doing his passion" along with a letter of explanation of the pictures and why your child would like to receive these funds.
