Individual Giving

What means the most to you?

  • Honoring and supporting fellow citizens who have served?

  • Understanding their wartime experiences?

  • Educating our community about sacrifice and the military’s role in our democracy?

The Virginia War Memorial offers a rare opportunity for individual citizens to make a difference that is both meaningful and lasting. And you can do it in whatever way is right for you. Donate once or monthly. Participate in fundraising events. Make the Memorial part of your estate plans. Every contribution helps ensure that the lessons of war will not be forgotten.
