Diversity and Non-discrimination Policy

To effectively and authentically address our community's most pressing needs requires an outward and intentional commitment to inclusion across all dimensions. Financial Foundations of Virginia seeks to include, engage, and serve everyone in our community in an equitable environment that is free from discrimination.
