The Foundation was established in 1990 to raise and collect funds for the charitable and educational activities of the Marine Corps League and to distribute those funds diligently within the mandates of a non-profit 501 (c)(3) agency as designated by the Internal Revenue Service. In the area of Humanitarian Aid, our philanthropic endeavors are realized with grants to individual Marines and families of Marines who are in a difficult position due to circumstances beyond their control. The needs are verified by local Marine Corps League officials, who often rally local Marine Corps League members to provide additional assistance as needed. We welcome all who share our values of Honor, Courage, Commitment, and Marines Helping Marines, assisting our youth.
