KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Longtime VFW Foundation supporter Oracle has donated $160,000 to help advance the Veterans of Foreign Wars’ National Veterans Service (NVS) program.
“This isn’t just a donation, it’s a lifeline for so many veterans,” said VFW Foundation Executive Director Hal Roesch. “VFW Accredited Service Officers work tirelessly to ensure veterans get the benefits and compensation their selfless service has earned them. We’re thankful to work alongside great companies like Oracle, whose dedication to honoring and giving back to our nation’s military and veteran families aligns so well with our own.”
Established more than 100 years ago, the VFW’s NVS program consists of a nationwide network of nearly 2,300 VFW Accredited Service Officers and Pre-Discharge Representatives. These experts navigate VA processes to assist service members, veterans and their dependents with filing and appealing benefit and compensation claims. In fiscal year 2025, the VFW helped veterans recoup $16.2 billion in VA disability compensation and pension benefits.
Oracle’s mission is to leverage innovation, technology, and people to help create a better future for communities and the planet. The company’s philanthropic approach reflects that mission, with US$27.7 million donated to organizations in 47 countries worldwide in fiscal year 2025.
“Improving access to healthcare and essential support services is an important part of Oracle’s philanthropic efforts,” says Colleen Cassity, global head of Social Impact and executive director of Oracle Education Foundation and Oracle Health Foundation. “We’re honored to support the VFW Foundation and its work helping veterans and military families access the benefits and care they’ve earned through their service.”
