We believe that every Marine is a leader. The Marine Corps Association Foundation, founded in 2009 as the charitable arm of the Marine Corps Association, helps develop leaders by providing forums for professional education, exchanging ideas, and preserving the traditions of the Corps. We stand by Marines with valuable resources through every step of their Marine Corps journey. 

Over the past decade, the Marine Corps Association Foundation has filled a void in programs that could not be supported by the Marine Corps appropriated funds. Tens of thousands of Marines across the globe each year benefit from our programs such as the Commanders’ Unit Library Program, Commanders’ Forum Program, Marine Writing Program and the Marine Excellence Awards Program. 

Our programs are vitally important to help ensure Today’s Marines develop into strong and effective leaders ready to face the challenges, both on and off the battlefield, in the 21st Century. In 2023, over $1.1 million dollars was spent on supporting over 47,000 Marines around the globe.

All proceeds from our annual golf tournament support everything we do for Marines.
