How Fisher House Will Use $1 Million Raised by O'Reilly Factor

The O'Reilly Factor donated a signed copy of Bill O'Reilly's notes of his interview with President Obama for every $500 donation to Fisher House Foundation. Over several months the O'Reilly Factor viewers and supporters raised over $1 million! The money is being split between several programs.

Current plans are as follows:

$50,000 to Heroes Legacy Scholarships, scholarships for the children of our fallen and disabled military heroes (established with proceeds from the President's children's book).

$100,000 to help build a Fisher House at the Augusta VA Medical Center, Georgia. House will be completed this summer.

$100,000 to help build a Fisher House at the Salt Lake City VA Medical Center, Utah. Construction to begin within three months.

$100,000 to help build a Fisher House for the Pittsburgh VA Medical Center, Pennsylvania. Construction to begin this summer.

$100,000 to help build a Fisher House for the Fort Belvoir Community Hospital, Virginia. Construction to begin this summer.

$100,000 to help build a Fisher House for the Audie Murphy VA Medical Center, San Antonio, TX. Newest VA level one polytrauma center; construction to begin this fall.

$200,000 to help build a Fisher House at Elmendorf AFB, Alaska. Starting construction this month.

The remaining $300,000 (plus) will be used to pay the lodging costs for families.

The Fisher House Foundation is highly rated by Charity Navigator, with over 95% of all funds raised going directly into programs.
