About the Bob Woodruff Foundation
The Bob Woodruff Foundation is a nonprofit organization founded in 2006 to support post-9/11 veterans, service members, and their families by improving access to resources and strengthening the network of organizations that serve them. The Foundation is known for a collaborative, community-based approach that helps military-connected individuals and families thrive after service.
Who the Organization Serves
The Bob Woodruff Foundation serves post-9/11 veterans, wounded warriors, active-duty service members, National Guard and Reserve members, caregivers, and military families. The Foundation also supports nonprofit and community partners that deliver direct services to the military-connected community.
What the Organization Does
- Funds and strengthens nonprofits that provide direct services to veterans and military families
- Supports programs focused on mental health, caregiver support, employment, housing stability, and overall well-being
- Promotes community collaboration to reduce gaps and duplication in veteran services
- Advances public awareness and engagement around veterans’ and military family needs

Where the Organization Operates
The Bob Woodruff Foundation operates nationally across the United States through grantmaking and partnerships with local, regional, and national nonprofits. While programs are delivered in communities, the Foundation’s impact is scaled through a broad network of collaborating organizations.
Eligibility and Participation
The Bob Woodruff Foundation is not a membership-based organization. Eligibility applies to program participation and, separately, to nonprofit partnership or grant opportunities.
- Veterans, service members, and military families may access support by connecting with partner organizations and resource networks supported by the Foundation.
- Nonprofit organizations may be eligible for partnership or grant consideration based on mission alignment, program impact, compliance requirements, and application criteria.
- Eligibility varies by program, location, and funding initiative.
- No combat service requirement applies for military-connected individuals seeking support through partner resources.
How Support Is Structured
Support is structured through strategic grantmaking, partner capacity-building, and community collaboration. The Foundation helps strengthen the “frontline” nonprofits delivering direct services, while also promoting connections that make it easier for veterans and families to find and access support in their communities.
