ABOUT THE CBP FOUNDATION
How The CBP Foundation Began
WHO WE ARE
For over 40 years, the Roger L. Von Amelunxen Foundation (RLVAF) supported U.S. Customs and CBP employees and their families. In 2023, the foundation announced that they would cease operations.
The CBP Foundation was formed to continue the critical role of supporting CBP employees and their families nationwide. As a 501 (c)(3) charitable organization, we will carry out the legacy and works of the RLVAF by providing financial assistance to CBP employees experiencing tragedy.
We appreciate your trust and support in our cause.
