Become a Founding Campus PartnerEleven Years. 15,000+ Youth and Families. 82 Acres.
Children of Fallen Heroes was founded in 2015 to serve the children and families of fallen military members, Special Operators and first responders. Over eleven years that work has reached more than 15,000 youth and families across the country — expanding to include foster youth, caregivers and students in Title One schools — through STEAM education, aviation programming, leadership development and national experiences.
All of it has been delivered without a permanent home. Securing 82 acres changes what comes next.
America’s Campus for the Next Generation
82 acres in Vass, North Carolina, being developed into a permanent platform where young people, educators, veterans, first responders, industry and community partners come together year-round.
Where the project stands
CFH delivers STEAM, aviation and leadership programs across the country today. Campus components are in planning and development, not yet operating on the property.
Areas of Alignment
The campus is designed around six connected areas. Most organizations find their entry point in one of them — through expertise, philanthropy, products, employees or community priorities.
STEAM + Innovation
Hands-on science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics taught through real systems. Robotics, emerging technology and design work connected to everything else happening on the property.
Programming operates nationally today; campus facilities are in development.
Aviation + Aerospace
Aviation and aerospace exposure and flight-adjacent learning — where mathematics becomes navigation and engineering becomes airframes and control systems.
Programming operates nationally today; a grass runway and supporting aviation infrastructure are planned.
Drones + Emerging Technology
Drone technology and the systems modern industries actually run on, taught across aviation, agriculture and STEAM rather than in isolation.
In development.
Agriculture + Equine
Agriculture education, equine programming, animal science, environmental learning and land stewardship across 82 acres.
In development.
Leadership + Service
Leadership development and mentorship drawing on veterans, the military and Special Operations community, first responders and educators.
Programming operates nationally today; campus programming is in development.
Athletics + Outdoor Experiences
Athletics, team development and outdoor education that use the land itself.
In development.
Across all six, the campus is designed to give young people workforce exposure, career exploration, industry engagement and mentorship — real contact with the people and technologies behind these fields.
What It Means to Become a Founding Campus Partner
There is a window that only exists once.
Founding Campus Partners are significant corporations, foundations and institutional supporters who participate during the formative development of America’s Campus for the Next Generation — while the ground is being prepared, the first building is being planned, and the campus is taking shape.
Their support helps make possible the programs, capabilities, infrastructure, equipment, technology, educational experiences and partnership opportunities that will shape the campus’s next chapter.
Participation is evaluated individually. Children of Fallen Heroes works with each prospective partner to define scope, fit and the form participation takes — which may be financial, technical, in-kind or a combination.
Become a Founding Campus PartnerPartnership Beyond Funding
Not every meaningful contribution is a check. Organizations participate through:
A technology company may contribute systems and the people who understand them. An aviation or aerospace organization may contribute equipment, expertise and mentors. An agriculture company may contribute knowledge that turns 82 acres into a classroom. A foundation may fund a program that would otherwise wait years.
Every partnership begins with alignment — identifying where an organization’s resources, expertise, people and investment can create meaningful, lasting impact.
How We Work With Partners
Institutional partnerships require clear stewardship, accountability and communication. Depending on the scope of the partnership, that can include:

- ◆Executive briefings and site visits
