On Veterans Day, we at NJVC are taking a moment to expand our charitable giving program. For years, we have proudly supported the United Service Organizations (USO), donating money and time to programs in our local communities and around the world. With NJVC’s rich history of support for our servicemen and women at home and abroad, we remain dedicated to our philanthropic contributions and aim to make the largest impact possible for the mission we so believe in.

I am pleased to announce that we are expanding our philanthropic partnerships to include the Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS) and the CIA Officers Memorial Foundation. 

Complementing our relationship with the USO, these two organizations offer critical assistance to the families of fallen military and CIA service members, a truly worthwhile cause for our company and reflective of our commitment to supporting defense and intelligence. I believe in the work of these organizations and I encourage everyone to learn more about their missions. Their stories, I hope, will move you as deeply as they have moved me.

TAPS offers compassionate care to those grieving the death of a loved one in our Armed Forces. Since 1994, TAPS has provided comfort and hope 24 hours a day, seven days a week through a national peer support network and connection to grief resources, all at no cost to surviving families and loved ones.

Founded in 2001, the CIA Officers Memorial Foundation was established to provide educational support to the survivors and dependents of CIA and other intelligence officers who died in the line of duty. The Foundation provides scholarships and financial assistance to the children and spouses of fallen officers.

Each of these organizations offers a number of volunteer opportunities for our employees to engage in and assist those who have been so gravely impacted. I look forward to our new philanthropic partnerships with these inspiring groups, which I anticipate will soon become part of the NJVC spirit.
