The CIA Officers Memorial Foundation provides college tuition and other expenses to children of fallen officers
CIA Officers Memorial Foundation staff members Calista Anderson, left, and Nancy Faucette, right, talk with students during a gathering for the current foundation scholarship recipients, Saturday, Nov. 26, 2022, in Ashburn, Va. The foundation recently hired Anderson, the daughter of one of seven officers to die in a December 2009 attack on the CIA's base in Khost, Afghanistan. Anderson wants to help other children of fallen officers and shares her memories of her mother, Jennifer Matthews.
The leaders want to change that by holding gatherings for the children of fallen officers and gradually telling more of their stories publicly. “I’d love for us to be out of business,” Edwards said."The nature of the work says that probably won’t be the case.” Edwards said he wanted to maintain the foundation’s core mission of funding scholarships and expand its offerings for families. The foundation has started a daycare program and added career services to connect scholarship recipients with corporate executives.
