> In the wake of 9/11, it became increasingly clear that CIA’s special operations officers—and, just as importantly, their family members—were lacking critical support and resiliency services. The covert nature of their assignments makes them ineligible for charitable assistance. The concept of the Foundation started from within, when a group of officers came together to form Third Option Foundation to honor their fellow officers—those who lost their lives, as well as those who still deploy each day on missions around the world.
>
> A Legacy of Commitment
> The history of this unit is storied, and rarely known. It traces its lineage to WWII when officers serving with the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) operated far from their military counterparts and often behind enemy lines. That tradition continues today as CIA special operations officers deploy alone or in small groups to some of the most dangerous places in the world, frequently for extended periods of time. They came to CIA following accomplished military careers, often speaking second or third languages and carrying advanced degrees. These officers are silent professionals, serving in anonymity with little more than the support, sacrifice, and strength of their families.

> About the Foundation
> Third Option Foundation is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt national non-profit organization. The name refers to the motto of CIA's Special Activities Center: Tertia Optio, the President’s third option when military force is inappropriate and diplomacy is inadequate. Third Option Foundation is dedicated to providing comprehensive family resiliency programs, working behind the scenes to quietly help those who quietly serve.*
