Senator Rick Scott and his wife, Ann Scott, have announced their decision to donate a portion of the senator's salary to the Navy SEAL Foundation. The foundation provides support for Naval Special Warfare warriors, veterans, and their families. Since taking office in 2019, Senator Scott has been donating his Senate salary.

In a statement, Senator Scott expressed pride in supporting the Navy SEAL Foundation: “Ann and I are proud to support an organization with a mission that means so much to us, the Navy SEAL Foundation. I’m a Navy veteran myself, and Ann and I both grew up in military families as the proud children of World War II veterans and with family members in service."

Scott emphasized the sacrifices made by military personnel and their families: "We know the sacrifices men and women in uniform, and their families, make to keep our nation safe. The Navy SEAL Foundation is a pillar of support to our special forces veterans and their families, ensuring they receive the care they need and deserve after serving their country."

Bill Strong, Chairman of the Navy SEAL Foundation Evening of Tribute, also acknowledged the Scotts' contribution: “We are delighted that Senator Rick Scott and Mrs. Ann Scott are once again supporting the Navy SEAL Foundation Naples Evening of Tribute. Thanks to their generosity and the generosity of other leading patrons, we will raise a record amount of money in support of the Navy SEAL Foundation on January 28th.”
