Victoria's Victory Foundation

What Victoria's Victory Foundation does

Victoria's Victory Foundation (VVF) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2017 by Jacqueline Arlen and her daughter Victoria Arlen, headquartered in Stratham, New Hampshire. The foundation serves individuals living with mobility disabilities caused by spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, stroke, multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, and rare diseases, addressing the gap between high out-of-pocket disability-related costs (the organization cites healthcare costs at 3x those of non-disabled individuals) and inadequate insurance coverage. Its mission centers on quality-of-life support through direct financial assistance, resource connection, and peer community.

The foundation's core products are the Victory Scholarship Program (direct grants averaging approximately $4,000 per recipient for mobility equipment, activity-based training, caregiver hours, home and vehicle modifications, and in-home nursing) and the Resource Navigation Program (personalized guidance connecting beneficiaries to insurance, Medicaid, foundations, adaptive recreation, and vendors based on locale and diagnosis). Supporting offerings include the Community Map platform for peer connections, a Resource Library, branded merchandise, and the Victory Champions storytelling initiative. Technology is non-proprietary: the website runs on Squarespace, donations are processed through Qgiv, and analytics run on Google Analytics; there are no APIs, AI/ML capabilities, or mobile applications.

VVF's revenue model is entirely donation-driven, with streams including corporate sponsorships (named program categories such as Wheelchair Sponsor and Caregiver Sponsor), private foundation grants, individual donations (including monthly and planned giving), donor advised funds, and ancillary merchandise sales. Since 2018 the Victory Program has cumulatively awarded approximately $1,699,253 across 425 recipients in 42 states; the foundation operates across all 50 states with no international presence.

Broad incumbents

• Easterseals: Large national disability services organization providing direct services, advocacy, and grants for individuals with disabilities. Comparable population served but much broader scope and institutional scale than VVF.
• Paralyzed Veterans of America: Advocacy and direct-services organization for veterans with spinal cord injuries and mobility disabilities. Overlaps with VVF's target population but with a veteran-specific focus and much larger resource base.
• Joni and Friends: Disability ministry and services organization providing wheelchair distribution, family support, and disability advocacy. Compares to VVF's mobility equipment funding and community-based support model.

Direct peers

• Kelly Brush Foundation: Provides adaptive sports equipment grants and supports people with spinal cord injuries pursuing active lifestyles. Directly comparable to VVF's activity-based training and adaptive recreation funding.
• Travis Roy Foundation: Provides grants to individuals with spinal cord injuries and funds adaptive equipment, home modifications, and quality-of-life support. Highly comparable to VVF's four scholarship categories (mobility equipment, training, modifications, caregiver hours).

Directly comparable to VVF's activity-based training and adaptive recreation scholarship funding for people with mobility disabilities.

Emerging players
