To support the growing needs of military personnel and their families.
2025 Military Personnel and their Families Grantee, Children of Fallen Patriots Foundation
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, and 168,000 veterans. 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.
