About

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. 100% of all contributions made to the Virginia Veterans Services Foundation provide direct 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.

Financial Reports

Financial statements for each quarter are contained as attachments to the quarterly Board of Trustees minutes, above. Annual financial statements for fiscal years prior to 2011 are available on request from the Foundation.

The FY2011 through FY2012 Financial Statements have been audited by the Virginia Auditor of Public Accounts. An additional audit of all Commonwealth agencies involved in fundraising was completed June 30, 2013. The Foundation had no discrepancies in either audit. The next audit was conducted for 2015. It found proper accounting and reporting of all transactions, but three matters of internal control were brought to management’s attention regarding receipt of donations. All were resolved.
