To support the growing needs of military personnel and their families.
2026 Military Personnel and their Families Grantee, Serve Our Willing Warriors
Over 200,000 residents of Northern Virginia are current or former military, including 24,000 on active duty, 18,000 in training for reserves or national guard. Virginia is home to more than 600,000 veterans—about 26% of whom live in Northern Virginia. The needs of this population are diverse, as described in our 2014 report, Supporting our Region's Veterans on veterans in Northern Virginia.
To help support the growing needs of military personnel and their families, the Community Foundation for Northern Virginia makes grants with a focus in Military Personnel & Their Families annually through the Community Investment Funds grant cycle.
The Military Personnel & Their Families Fund is a component fund of The Permanent Fund for Northern Virginia, an unrestricted endowment at the Community Foundation that makes grants to help build a community that works for everyone.
