Elizabeth Dole Foundation

About Us

The Elizabeth Dole Foundation (EDF) is the nation's preeminent organization empowering, supporting, and honoring America’s 14.3 million military caregivers—the spouses, parents, family members, and friends who care for our nation’s wounded, ill, or injured veterans. Founded in 2012, EDF takes a comprehensive approach in its advocacy, working with leaders in the public, private, nonprofit and faith communities to recognize military caregivers’ service and promote their well-being. Its mission and goal is to empower military and veteran caregivers, their families, and their communities through programs, partnerships, and advocacy that drive innovation and sustainable solutions.
