The Hughes Memorial Foundation is a charitable non-profit organization aiming to support deserving, disadvantaged children in Virginia and North Carolina, including descendants of Hughes Memorial Home alumnae. Inspired by Jesus Christ and the legacy of John E. Hughes, the foundation focuses on being responsible stewards of their resources, offering scholarships and grants, backing projects, and launching programs that offer care, training, and nurture. They also engage in identifying needs, advocating for children, and educating about children's issues to foster innovative solutions.
The Hughes Memorial Foundation initially established to support an orphanage, evolved into a private foundation focusing on aiding children "most in harm’s way" through grants and scholarships. The foundation's efforts have transitioned from direct care to providing financial support to programs and initiatives benefiting children. With over $5.1 million awarded in grants and scholarships, the foundation supports non-profit organizations with programs that benefit children and provide educational opportunities. Their grant program continues the legacy of its founder by targeting aid towards children in need and promoting the welfare of vulnerable youth through grants and scholarships designed to address their specific needs and challenges.
