French Camp Academy is an interdenominational Christian boarding school for deserving young people founded in 1855. Long before public schools, a group of Scotch-Irish Christians established a school at French Camp on the Natchez Trace. Through God's grace and the support of dedicated Christians of all denominations, the school has continued without interruption for over 100 years. In 1950, French Camp Academy was reorganized and put under the ownership and operation of an incorporated Board of Trustees. It was also given a new purpose-to providing a Christian school-home for children with family problems not of their own making. By and large, French Camp Academy takes in young people who, for one reason or another, cannot or will not stay at home. On a beautiful 1,200-acre campus, French Camp Academy provides a stable home environment where children can know they are loved and accepted. FCA's educational program is fully accredited for grades 9-12, and has a non-sectarian Christian emphasis. The French Camp Mission Statement states: French Camp Academy strives to provide young people with the confronting, compassionate, non-compromising love of our Lord, Jesus Christ in a Christian School-Home; integrating faith and learning by encouraging everyone, as we work and worship together "to love God with all our hearts . . . and our neighbors as ourselves."

Our Mission is to work so that no one is isolated because of Parkinson’s disease. Parkinson’s Resource Organization (PRO) is dedicated to improving quality of life for families and individuals affected by Parkinson’s disease through education, support, and practical resources. PRO was established in 1990 by caregivers who were overwhelmed and struggling to find the support network they needed. So they decided to create one. What started as Children of Parkinson's morphed into Parkinson's Resource Organization and today we continue to maximize quality of life for people with Parkinson's, their families, and caregivers through education, resources, and person-to-person support. PRO works to improve quality of life for everyone impacted by Parkinson’s. We do this through emotional and practical resources, support groups, educational materials, and access to a network of professionals who can provide guidance and assistance. Additionally, we advocate for the needs and rights of caregivers and patients, ensuring they receive the necessary care and resources. Caregivers play a crucial role in the management and support of Parkinson's patients. PRO acknowledges their efforts and aims to equip them with the tools and knowledge required to provide effective care. Through continuous outreach and dedicated services, we strives to create a supportive community where caregivers and patients can find the help and companionship they need.

The mission of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund (VVMF) is to honor and preserve the legacy of service and educate all generations about the impact of the Vietnam War. Based in Arlington, Virginia, VVMF is the nonprofit organization authorized by the U.S. Congress in 1980 to build a national memorial dedicated to all who served with the U.S. armed forces in the Vietnam War.

The result was the Vietnam Veterans Memorial (commonly referred to as The Wall), which has become one of the most visited memorials in Washington, D.C. with an estimated 5.6 million annual visitors.
