The John and Daria Barry Foundation is committed to three broad causes:

Veterans Affairs - Our goal is to improve access to treatment for critical health issues experienced by our veterans. Our primary focal points are VA hospitals in Florida and New York.

Education - We focus on helping children receive a quality education throughout all stages of their development; pre-k to advanced degrees. Geographically, our younger and pre-college students are clustered in New York, South Dakota and Haiti. For higher education, our students attend various universities.

Environment - The foundation participates on a local scale in the Northeast and Southeast U.S. to help remove pollution from local rivers, reservoirs, and bays.
