The Purple Heart Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization headquartered in Annandale, Virginia.[1] Its declared purpose is "to enhance the quality of life of Purple Heart recipients and other honorably discharged veterans and their families."[2][3]
The organization was established in 1957 as the "Military Order of the Purple Heart Service Foundation" and is governed by an 11-member board of directors.[4][5] The foundation's programs focus on providing grants and outreach services to wounded veterans and their families, and the foundation has granted or otherwise contributed over $245 million since its founding.[6] These programs include academic scholarships, service dogs, PTSD resources, TBI resources, car giveaways, VA benefits legal aid, and veteran critical assistance grants.[7][8]
The foundation has faced operational and financial issues in recent years, and currently has 0-star rating from Charity Navigator and an "F" rating from CharityWatch, largely due to the organization's reliance on third-party fundraising companies.[9][10]
