Virginia Veterans Services Foundation
About Us

Who we are
The Virginia Veterans Services Foundation was established to support the interest of Virginia Veterans and their families. The Foundation is governed and administered by an appointed Board of Trustees.
The Virginia Veterans Services Foundation provides supplemental funding for designated Veteran programs and services when state and federal funds are not available. The Foundation depends solely on contributions from the generosity of community and civic organizations, businesses and corporations, grants, and caring individuals. The Virginia Veterans Services Foundation provides support to our veterans in crisis or in need of assistance. Each dollar raised stays right here in Virginia.
Donations to the Foundation may be tax-deductible under § 170(c)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code.
