A Message from the President

Everyday in communities all across the Commonwealth of Virginia, public safety officers diligently serve their neighbors. The Virginia Public Safety Foundation strives to bring recognition of their efforts and to deliver support to their families in times of ultimate need.

First, we promote the heroic efforts of Virginia’s public safety officers.

We proudly administer the Governor’s Medal of Valor – the highest honor awarded for heroism in the Commonwealth of Virginia. The Medal of Valor Review Board assists the Governor in selecting the annual honorees and our Foundation is proud to administer this recognition.

Second, we rush to provide immediate financial assistance to the families of public safety officers killed in the line of duty.

Our mission is to provide immediate assistance to the families of public safety officers killed or severely injured in the line of duty. We are the only statewide non-profit agency assisting all branches of public safety: law enforcement, fire, rescue, corrections and jail, by providing:

  • $2,000 in immediate aid to the spouse or dependent child of a slain public safety officer;
  • $500 to eligible officers who are severely injured in the line of duty;
  • Up to $3,000 per academic year for the higher education of eligible children and spouses of slain officers.

For over 20 years the VPSF has worked to be a first responder for the families of public safety officers in their time of need. Please explore our website. We encourage your inquiries and support as we continue to “Support Those Who Serve Us.”
