WELCOME TO THE MCA FOUNDATION
A Message from Major General Leslie M. Palm, President of the Marine Corps Association Foundation:
For 96 years of the Marine Corps’ long, illustrious history of being the Nation’s Force in Readiness, the Marine Corps Association has played a key role in supporting the professional development of Marines in times of war as well as during times of peace.
Since its founding, MCA’s mission has not changed. It is to:
• Support the Marine Corps by disseminating knowledge of military art and science among Marines
• Provide professional development opportunities for Marines
• Foster the spirit and preserve the traditions of the Marine Corps
Over the years, however, as America’s military paradigm has evolved and shifted, MCA, as a not-for-profit veteran’s organization, has found itself increasingly limited in its ability to raise the substantial funds necessary to support the demands on its resources.
In order to more effectively support its mission, MCA has created and incorporated within its structure, the Marine Corps Association Foundation (“Foundation”), a 501(c)(3) non-profit charitable foundation. The achievement of this organizational status will better permit the Foundation to raise funds to support and expand the programs and activities so essential to MCA’s core mission…READ MORE
The Marine Corps Association Foundation has been launched to provide programs that will help Marines prepare for our Nation’s battles and support their morale.
