Fisher House Foundation Inc.
Mission
Fisher House Foundation, Inc. is an international not-for-profit organization established to improve the quality of life for members of the military, retirees, veterans, and their families. The Foundation builds comfort homes at military and VA medical centers and gifts them to the government. It assists with the coordination of private support and encourages public support for the network of comfort homes known as “Zachary and Elizabeth M. Fisher Houses.” It works to educate and inform the military and veteran communities, their families, and the general public about Fisher Houses and provides necessary support to individual Fisher Houses as needed. Other programs include scholarships, a grant initiative for nonprofits with innovative plans for quality-of-life projects, the Hero Miles and Hotels for Heroes programs, and individual assistance to members of the military and their families during a crisis.
Vision
Fisher House Foundation will continue to build Fisher Houses as long as there is a need. We believe that it is important to show those who have dedicated their lives through service in our Armed Forces and their families that we recognize and appreciate their significant contributions and sacrifices, and care about them in their time of need. Through our programs, we seek to have a positive impact on the quality of life of those we consider to be “our greatest national treasure… our military service men and women, and their loved ones.”
Goals
- 1.Fisher House Foundation has built more than 100 Fisher Houses and will continue to build as long as there is a need. There are more than 20 hospitals that have identified a need for a Fisher House.
- 2.We have increased the number of Fisher Houses to over 100. We have increased support through our grant program, the Fisher Service Awards, our Hero Miles and Hotels for Heroes programs, and our scholarship programs.
- 3.Fisher House Foundation believes that we cannot be all things to all people. We work closely with other nonprofits that support the military and veteran communities because we believe that by working together, we can have the greatest impact on those we serve.
