The Bob Woodruff Foundation embraces a unique, multi-faceted approach to giving. We maintain a national-level impact by partnering with community-level efforts. We join forces with government agencies to both adjust public policy, and to assist the Veterans Administration, Department of Defense and other groups currently overwhelmed with the challenge of caring for service members and their families. We understand the value of public awareness and education, and we are continually investing in both.
