Who we are
“Dedicated care and support for our United States Military Veterans, their families, and disadvantaged children.”
Commonwealth Cardinal Foundation, Inc. is committed to finding solutions to the complex problems of providing multifaceted medical care, advanced medical research, rehabilitative services, and development of short and long-term housing for American citizens, veterans, their families and surrounding communities.
“Our Vision, Mission and Promise focuses on healthcare, housing and care for our United States Military Veteran population and all children in need. CCFI believes in extending a helping hand, not a hand out.”
Richard H. Taylor, Founder, Chairman, CEO
Our Vision
“Commonwealth Cardinal Foundation, Inc. believes all people have equal value, and will always be treated as such.”
Our Mission
“To create comprehensive healthcare and living environments so as to strengthen America, our veteran population and all children’s quality of life.”
Our Pledge
“To serve United States citizens, military veterans, their families and disadvantaged children during their times of need”
Our objectives include: advancing healthcare through research and development of emerging technologies, building affordable and sustainable urban housing, and providing a wide range of health, housing and education services for our veteran and children population. As you can imagine this requires a holistic approach to a complex matrix of demographics and human issues. We have developed partnerships and are working together with leading hospitals, engineering firms and the U.S. Department of Veteran’s Affairs through Secretary Denis McDonough’s office.
Health, wellness, transportation, education and job training are our objectives, and we encourage the general population of primary adults and senior citizens to live, work and enjoy all the services offered in our communities where the benefits are designed specifically for community participation and enjoyable opportunities.
“Our children’s services provide a nurturing environment, health care, education, a sense of well-being and security to all children CCFI reaches in the United States.”
We believe our veterans, having honorably served and protected this country, deserve an opportunity for rehabilitation, healing, job training and job placement while residing in an environment that fosters family, health and wellness, and encourages community and social experiences for our veterans, their families and the American public they interact and live with.
Our innovative and sustainable urban designs and development of created campuses provide the environment our veterans and disadvantaged children need. These communities will be state-of-the-art terms of medical care, social services, and community well-being by implementing the latest technologies to help enhance a sustainable and social community infrastructure.
“We, at CCFI, do not dream about a future . . . we build one.”
Richard Taylor had a dream to solve the challenges our beloved veterans, their families, children and communities have had for far too long. He knew there was a way, but he also knew the sacrifices that had to be made would cause great pain and hardship.
Richard built a team of veterans, entrepreneurs, businessmen, engineers and architects. He created and nurtured powerful political allies and started moving forward despite the continuous battles that had to be fought.
In the face of enormous ridicule and stress, Richard maintained the spirit of the team and forward momentum as the Founder, Chairman, and CEO of the world’s largest philanthropic organization serving veterans and children.
Richard’s lifetime of experience as a successful banker, business man, and leader in the community; gave him the wisdom and fortitude to see this through. Richard never knew the meaning of “quit”.
Thank you Richard Taylor. There are no words to describe our gratitude for rising above the rest and making a personal commitment and sacrifice to “build the dream”. -MM
We thoughtfully design and create environments where American citizens and our veterans can share their experiences during treatment and rehabilitation. This strengthens our veteran community and reintroduces our veterans back into the general population so they may regain their place as accepted and productive members of society.
For those veterans that require long term care, the foundation is committed to providing state-of-the-art long term care facilities in each of its master planned communities.
