Our Work
Our Founder
John Allen, @mrballen
When former Navy SEAL John Allen, better known to his podcast and YouTube subscribers as @MrBallen, shares a story about the strange, dark, and mysterious, he never loses sight of the real people whose lives have been shattered by crime or violence.
A storyteller helping rewrite stories for victims
Founded in 2022 by John Allen, the Foundation is rooted in his belief that behind every true crime story is a real person, a real family, and a real loss that deserves more than just remembrance.
Turning a platform into a purpose
Having built one of the world’s most-followed true crime platforms, John launched the MrBallen Foundation to give back, channeling a portion of what he earns by telling these stories into support for the people and families who live them.
