The Elizabeth Dole Foundation
About the Organization
Founded in 2012 by former U.S. Senator and Cabinet Secretary Elizabeth Dole, EDF is the
nation’s leading organization dedicated exclusively to supporting military and veteran
caregivers—the spouses, parents, family members, and friends who care for wounded, ill, or
injured service members and veterans. EDF was inspired by Senator Dole’s visits with military
and veteran families at Walter Reed Army Medical Center as she cared for her husband, Senator
Bob Dole. There, she witnessed firsthand the extraordinary sacrifices and often overlooked
challenges faced by caregivers and set out to ensure they received the recognition, resources, and
support they deserve.
