How you help One of the major keys to the success of the Fisher Houses is its volunteer program. The managers and small staff could not possibly conduct the day-to-day operations of the Houses while supporting the guests in the way that they need. That’s where the Fisher House volunteers provide an invaluable service!
About us The Fisher-Nightingale Houses, Inc. (FNHI) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that provides support to the two Fisher Houses located at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base and on the Dayton VA Medical Center Campus. Even though these houses are located on military or VA installations, they have no corporate or government underwriting and must rely on private donations for some of their operating expenses. FNHI raises funds to support these compassionate care facilities that house patients and their families receiving treatment at the Wright-Patt Medical Center and the historic Dayton VA Medical Center.
