Fisher House Foundation, Inc. is an international nonprofit that works alongside the Veterans Health Administration to provide complimentary quality of life services for active military members, veterans, and their families. The foundation primarily focuses on the construction of comfort homes designed to provide temporary lodging for family members of active military members and veterans while they receive treatment from V.A. hospitals and clinics. Fisher House Foundation comfort homes are located in close proximity to most major V.A. locations internationally.

Other Quality of Life programs offered by the foundation include the Hero Miles and Hotels for Heroes programs, ongoing assistance to Fisher Houses, scholarships, support for continuing rehabilitation initiatives, and individual assistance to members of the military and their families during a crisis.
