Foundation Purpose

  • Incorporated in the Commonwealth of Virginia March 28, 2003

  • Federal Employer Identification Number issued April 3, 2003

  • Granted IRS 501(c)3 Non-Profit status in July 2003

  • Foundation approved for Combined Federal Campaign in August 2004

  • Granted an IRS Final Public Charity Ruling in 2008

    • Accepted by the U.S. Office of Personnel Management for the inclusion in the Fall 2011 Combined Federal Campaign as a member of Military Family and Veterans Service Organizations. CFC number is: 11871

The Foundation is organized and shall be administered and operated exclusively to receive, administer and expend funds and carry on programs for educational purposes, within the meaning of Section 501(c) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code or the corresponding provision of any future federal tax law, including, but not limited to, acquire funds and make distribution of those funds to qualified and eligible persons. The United States Army Warrant Officers Association Scholarship Foundation will focus on providing scholarships to qualified members and family members of warrant officers serving in or retired from the United States Army, the U. S. Army Reserve and the Army National Guard of the various states and territories. Due to the frequency of relocations many of these family members do not have the opportunity to develop relationships which would result in their gaining assistance in the growing costs of obtaining a college education.
