WFF Board

The Washington Forrest Foundation today is made up of 3rd and 4th generation family members who are committed to serving our local Arlington community where our founder B.M. Smith lived, worked and served. Our grantmaking focus combines a mix of geography, history and most importantly, Board passion for the organization or program.
