Diplomatic Security Foundation

The Diplomatic Security Foundation (DSF) is a non-profit organization based in Dunn Loring, Virginia. Established in 1995, DSF operates with a small team of three employees and generates annual revenue of $2.5 million. DSF provides financial assistance to Diplomatic Security (U.S. Department of State) personnel and their foreign affairs/law enforcement counterparts worldwide. The foundation offers one-time grants to individuals and families connected to Diplomatic Security who are facing hardships or crises. DSF distinguishes itself as a separate entity from the Diplomatic Security Special Agents Association (DSSAA) and does not engage in membership dues or product sales. The foundation relies on donations, all of which are tax-deductible to the fullest extent of the law. All financial aid provided by DSF is a gift and does not require repayment.
