Who We Are
what we do
The Gelt Charitable Foundation’s mission is to ensure that communities receive the mental, physical, and emotional help they need. Through programs such as Lone Soldier Adoption, Mental Health and Suicide Prevention Education, and Recovery Programs, we have assisted dozens of communities nationwide, ensuring that help and prevention are affordable and easy to access.
