About Us

A Memorandum of Agreement was entered into between the Orlando VA Healthcare System and the Military Officers Association of America (MOAA) Central Florida Chapter Philanthropy Fund, Inc. This document sets forth the structure in which both entities will work in a mutually beneficial manner to advance and improve the quality of life for our Central Florida Veterans. A copy of this memorandum along with other important organization documents can be found on the Philanthropy Fund website.

In December of 2021 the MOAA Central Florida Chapter Philanthropy Fund, Inc. was incorporated as a Florida 501 (c) 3 non-profit public charity. At this time, in collaboration with the Orlando VA Healthcare System, the Healing Through Expression Project was established.

The mission of the Project is to increase the awareness in the local Veteran and civilian community of the healing powers of creative art. Also, the project will provide the opportunity for Veterans to improve overall health and well-being through the art they produce. The art they develop may also promote physical stamina, increased sense of general well-being, improved self-esteem and increased focus and concentration. These art keys to wellness will help the Veteran reintegrate into his or her community, returning home to a potentially fuller and more productive life.
