- Outer Circle Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that was created in 2020. Founded by Matt and Buffy, Outer Circle Foundation stands as a beacon of support and resources for our courageous Military Veterans and First Responders. Our deep appreciation for their sacrifices drives our relentless commitment to help ease their challenges. Dedicated to honoring their service, we are resolute in our mission to empower and uplift those who selflessly protected our nation.
In 2021, when the Afghan government fell, Matt was asked to assist with helping move our Aghan Special Forces Allies from Afghanistan to safety. Outer Circle Foundation immediately shifted and stood up the Outer Circle Foundation website to begin working the Afghan mission. Outer Circle Foundation, along with many other non-profits worked around the clock to ensure our Afghan Special Forces allies were kept safe. One family, turned into five families, turned into hundreds of families. Outer Circle Foundation was able to successfully remove hundreds of families to safety to include Nasar Watandost. Nasar was the former Command Sergeant Major of the Elite Afghan Special Forces who had trained over 3 million Afghan special forces soldiers. Nasar arrived in Atlanta Georgia on April 26, 2023, and his wife and 3 children arrived 3 months later. Nasar had not seen his wife and children in a little over 3 years. Nasar and his family lived with Matt and Buffy for approximately 9 months. Nasar is now employed and doing well.
In 2023, Outer Circle Foundation shifted its mission back to our US veterans and first responders. Our mission is to support our Veterans, First Responders, and their families, during times of need by providing Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) resources and treatment options, Suicide Awareness & Prevention, Career Coaching, Resume Development, Networking Opportunities, and Resources to Support Service Animals through partnerships with other amazing nonprofit organizations.
Outer Circle Foundation will continue to work with other nonprofit organizations to ensure our Veterans and First Responders have the resources and support they need tackle the challenges life throws their way.
