About the Valerie Coleman Nonprofit Fellowship Fund

Valerie Coleman was a native Washingtonian and devoted wife, mother, grandmother, friend, and neighbor, whose greatest love and passion in life was children. Valerie passed away in 2023 after a tough battle with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. She had six children of her own, 17 grandchildren and helped many other children by opening her heart and home to help those kids most in need. Valerie gave back in ways big and small throughout her life and was especially passionate about Fair Chance given our focus on improving the lives of kids who need it most.

Thank you to the Coleman family for their legacy and unwavering support for Fair Chance.
