TAPS is the national nonprofit organization providing compassionate care and
comprehensive resources for all those grieving the death of a military or
veteran loved one. Since 1994, TAPS has provided comfort and hope 24/7 through a
national peer support network and connection to grief resources, all at no cost
to surviving families and loved ones. TAPS provides a variety of programs to
survivors nationally and worldwide. Our National Military Survivor Seminar and
Good Grief Camp has been held annually in Washington, D.C., over Memorial Day
weekend since 1994. TAPS also conducts regional survivor seminars for adults and
youth programs at locations across the country, as well as retreats and
expeditions around the world. Staff can get you connected to counseling in your
community and help navigate benefits and resources. If you are grieving the loss
of a fallen service member, or if you know someone who can use our support, the
TAPS 24/7 National Military Survivor Helpline is always available toll-free with
loving support and resources at 800-959-TAPS (8277). If you are here because our
mission to care for the families of America’s fallen heroes speaks to you as
well, we welcome you to connect with us about giving, volunteering, professional
engagement or careers. TAPS is a national nonprofit 501(c)3 Veterans Service
Organization and is not part of, or endorsed by, the Department of Defense. OUR
