Restricted Giving With Local Purpose

Every Cemetery Has Heroes Worth Remembering.

Choose a partner cemetery and direct your gift to preserving the veterans, grave sites, and history entrusted to that place.

01

Restricted Giving

Your gift remains with WRRF and is restricted for WRRF work at the cemetery you select.

02

Local Impact

Support preservation, perpetual care, marker work, research, and remembrance at one specific location.

03

Responsible Stewardship

Funds remain under WRRF control and are used only in a manner consistent with donor intent and applicable law.

Local resting places carry national stories.

Most veterans are not buried in national cemeteries. They rest in hometown cemeteries where families visit, communities gather, and local history is preserved.

Many of these cemeteries are maintained by small associations, churches, and volunteers who care deeply about honoring those who served. Through the WRRF Partner Cemetery Program, we work alongside these local caretakers to preserve veteran grave sites, restore markers, document military service, and ensure every veteran is remembered with dignity.

When you support a specific partner cemetery, you are funding WRRF's work only at that cemetery.

3% Cover the Fee

Donations made to a WRRF Partner Cemetery Fund are restricted for use within the selected cemetery and support the preservation, cleaning, restoration, memorialization, and honoring of veterans interred at that location. Funds may also support veteran memorials, flag placement, commemorative ceremonies, and cemetery and facility beautification benefiting veterans and their visitors. These funds are maintained separately to ensure donations remain within the designated cemetery and directly benefit local veteran preservation efforts.

Select the Cemetery You Wish to Support.

Your donation remains a WRRF fund and is restricted for approved WRRF preservation, care, research, and remembrance work at the cemetery you select.

The gift stays with WRRF. The work stays at the cemetery.

When you select a cemetery, your donation becomes a restricted WRRF fund dedicated to that location. The contribution remains under the stewardship and exclusive control of Warriors Remembrance & Research Foundation.

WRRF uses those funds only for approved mission work benefiting veterans buried at the cemetery you designated.

Your donation is never redirected to another cemetery or used for an unrelated WRRF program.
