Title: Virginia Public Safety Foundation

URL: https://www.vpsf.org/

Description: The Virginia Public Safety Foundation (VPSF), a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, was established in 1993 through the merger of two separate organizations, the Virginia Silver Star Foundation and the Virginia Police Foundation. Each existed to provide a single service: the Silver Star Foundation to support the families of police officers killed in the line of duty with financial assistance, and the Police Foundation to provide educational scholarships to the children of police officers killed in the line of duty. When VPSF formed through the merger of its preceding organizations, the mission was altered to include as benefactors all public safety officers in Virginia-police officers, volunteer and paid firefighters, volunteer and paid emergency medical technicians, and corrections officers. VPSF serves all public safety officers. Under the guidance of a distinguished board of directors made up of all former Virginia governors as well as leaders in business and public safety, VPSF delivers support to Virginia's safety officers through several important missions: > Assist the families of officers killed in the line of duty. > Provide education scholarships to surviving dependants of officers killed in the line of duty. > Assist officers unable to work due to an injury in the line of duty. > Administer the Commonwealth Public Safety Medal of Valor program.
