VETERANS OF FOREIGN WARS FOUNDATION

Community Service & Public Awareness - The mission supports programs that foster patriotism, citizenship education and volunteerism, community improvement and youth development programs. The VFW Foundation made grants of $650,000 to assist VFW Posts and Auxiliaries with outreach projects in their respective communities, so that VFW Posts could continue to be a resource for their local communities. Additionally, the VFW Foundation provided a grant of $145,000 to help support a trip that recognizes high school students that were awarded scholarships based on essays they wrote on a patriotic theme.
