Overview

The Bob Woodruff Foundation Grants aim to support veterans and their families facing challenges after military service. By raising awareness and providing funding, the foundation focuses on improving health and well-being through direct service programs. Key criteria include enhancing access to healthcare, promoting healthy lifestyles, and fostering sustainability in organizations serving this community. This initiative plays a crucial role in helping veterans thrive post-service.

How We Drive Change
Imagine you’ve just completed your military service.
You need to find a place to live. You don’t have a job. Or you’ve been injured and need care. You can’t sleep. The bills are piling up. Your partner is struggling. Your family is strained. You don’t know where to turn.
This is why the Bob Woodruff Foundation exists.
Grant Criteria
We provide funding for programs that serve the military and veteran community. We focus on programs that improve the health and well-being of service members, veterans, their families, and caregivers, and that:

  • Improve social determinants of health
  • Decrease barriers to physical and mental healthcare
  • Increase access to programming that fosters a healthy lifestyle
  • Enhance opportunities for veterans to thrive after service
