Think GREAT Foundation

About Us

Our Story
Military spouses carry an extraordinary weight, managing households, raising children alone through deployments, constant moves, and repeatedly putting their own education and careers on hold. Founded by U.S. Marine Corps veteran Erik Therwanger, Think GREAT Foundation was created because that sacrifice deserved a real response.

Our Mission:
Our mission is simple: to enrich and enhance the lives of military and veteran spouses by supporting the accomplishment of their educational and career goals.

Make a Difference, One Scholarship at a Time
Behind every scholarship is a spouse who sacrificed, a dream deferred, and a future waiting to be reclaimed. We enlist corporate sponsors, contributors, partners, advocates, supporters, and ambassadors who believe, as we do, that those who sacrifice for this country deserve a community that invests in them.
