In the wake of 9/11, it became increasingly clear that CIA¹s 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 President¹s 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.*
