Stafford Junction

What Stafford Junction does

Stafford Junction is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization headquartered at 791 Truslow Road in Fredericksburg, Virginia, that delivers free educational, health, and family support programs to low-income children and adults in Stafford County. Founded in 2005 as Olde Forge Junction in response to a 2002 Stafford County Sheriff's Office community needs assessment, it was renamed Stafford Junction in 2009 when its scope broadened beyond the Olde Forge neighborhood. The organization operates from a core team of three paid staff — Executive Director Myriam Brown, Field Manager Greg Minor, and Grants & Office Manager Erica Brouillette — supported by a 12-member Board of Directors and a volunteer base, with no proprietary technology product.

The organization's service portfolio is organized around three pillars. The education pillar includes Brain Builders (after-school tutoring, mentorship, and social-emotional support with meals), Life Skills (ESL, GED preparation, and financial literacy delivered in partnership with Rappahannock Area Adult Regional Education), and Summer Junction (a multi-component summer camp covering sports, STEAM, and academic reinforcement). The health and wellness pillar centers on Healthy Living Pays, which combines YMCA family memberships, health screenings, the Youth Farm Program (with Downtown Greens), and arts programming. The basic needs pillar includes Tide Me Over Bags (shelf-stable family meal kits), Holiday Giving Programs, and School Supply Assistance. Programs are delivered directly within seven Stafford County neighborhoods: England Run North Apartments, Foxwood Village, Garrison Woods, Jefferson Place, Meadows, Olde Forge, and The Village at England Run.

The revenue model is donation-funded rather than transactional. Income is sourced from individual donations (one-time and recurring via DonorView, PayPal Giving Fund, Facebook, Venmo, and mail-in checks), workplace giving designations through United Way (CFC #27094, LGC #6418), and in-kind contributions from businesses, churches, and civic organizations. Distribution is community-led through word-of-mouth, partner referrals, and grassroots volunteer networks; marketing relies on the organization's website, email newsletter, and Facebook presence. The organization reports on GuideStar and Charity Navigator under EIN 20-3036072 but does not publicly disclose financial figures, and has no parent company, subsidiaries, or funded rounds.
