Steven P Vann Foundation

The Steven P. Vann Foundation was incorporated in 2009 to provide financial assistance to graduating high school seniors who are the children of deceased National Passenger Railroad Corporation employees. Donations to the foundation would be awarded to the high school seniors who exhibit excellence in their academic endeavors and are pursuing a collegiate career path. 

The formation of the SPV Foundation was inspired by the death of a valued employee, esteemed colleague, educated alumni, but more importantly, dedicated father, Steven P. Vann (1968-2007). Steve was a respected employee with Amtrak for over 13 years. He was a locomotive engineer providing train service from Washington, D.C. to New York City. 

It is understood the Steven P. Vann Foundation commenced through great inspiration. With your financial support, the foundation will unquestionably provide limitless opportunities to high school seniors seeking post-secondary education. As a contributor to the foundation, whether it’s through sponsorship or a monetary donation, you will also benefit from opportunities offered to individuals and / or organizations supporting this foundation.
