About the Texas VFW

Hurricane Harvey devastation

VFW Posts and Auxiliaries make a huge impact in assisting other qualified veterans and families through their donations to the Foundation to expand outside of their local communities.

Since 2011, the Texas VFW Foundation has assisted Posts and Auxiliaries with over $464,000. These funds were the result of one of the following: passthrough donations to Posts/Auxiliaries because the donor could not donate based on the Post’s/Auxiliary’s lack of 501(c)(3) status, Post assistance grants for repairs to Post owned buildings, and/or donations to assist Posts/Districts that lost funds in the Noble Trust investment

Veterans who come to the Texas VFW Foundation are looking for solutions and are tired of being directed to multiple agencies to find an answer Every Texas VFW Foundation applicant, regardless of the outcome, is required to work with an agency that can help with a longer-term solution as we know that providing financial assistance is a stop-gap solution, not a permanent one. This partner agency could be a VA case worker, an accredited service officer who can assist with a claim or appeal, an employment representative, or any number of agencies with experience and expertise in assisting veterans

The Texas VFW Staff regularly participates in veteran resource fairs, career expos, and other opportunities to network with other VSOs so that our information and resource list is lengthy and well vetted.

The Texas VFW Foundation is only as strong as it is due to your support and your commitment to providing the most we can for Texas veterans. We can always do more. Doing more costs time, talent, and treasure. Please consider how you can contribute one of those (time, talent, and/or treasure) to make sure we are so successful in assisting Texas veterans that there are no more homeless or soon-to-be homeless veterans, no more veterans without transportation, no veterans unable to keep their medication and food stored at proper temperatures due to disconnection of utilities, and no Texas veteran who doesn’t know where to turn

The Texas VFW Foundation will have a booth at any Department of Texas VFW event. See the Foundation at the 2024 Mid-Winter Conference check out the Veteran Resource Fair and blood drive
