Mission Statement

The purpose of this Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, is to memorialize and honor the memory of the late SGT Ryan E. Doltz, who died while bravely serving the United States of America in the war in Iraq, by assisting worthy individuals and charitable organizations and to make contributions, gifts, and render financial or other assistance to such worthy individuals and charitable organizations through fundraising and private donations.

We have established a scholarship for a college-bound student from Morris County, New Jersey; as well as a scholarship for a member or dependent of the New Jersey National Guard who will be continuing his or her education. Contributions have also been made to the Ryan Doltz ‘00 Scholarship at the Virginia Military Institute. Investment accounts were established for the two young sons of fallen soldiers in Ryan's unit and the monies in these accounts were distributed to them at the age of 18. Additionally, donations have been made to military families in need of assistance, as well as organizations such as Wounded Warrior Project, Wreaths Across America, Hugs for Children, Operation Jersey Cares, Backpacks For Life and more.
