This fall, we funded 12 mini-grants on the 9/11 Day of Service, engaging more than 100 volunteers. Your financial support on Giving Tuesday would make it possible for the Virginia Service Foundation to support additional projects through National Day of Service Mini Grants, engaging hundreds of additional volunteers in service to their communities in 2025. Each grantee receives up to $250 and a donation of any size will help us support more volunteers throughout Virginia.![]()

“Thoughts bubble up of veteran’s stories when I think of the wonderful time we spent building the Veteran’s Memorial to all our heroes, hopefully leaving a history lesson for our children and their children to learn how to appreciate what they have to enjoy. Just always remember, there was a life, some of them very young, behind each name on the wall and every brick in the walkway. This serves as a reminder that FREEDOM IS NOT FREE!”![]()
