We collaborate with Coast Guard leadership to identify the best ways to support members and families and effectively address new and emerging needs.

The loss of a Coast Guard member is carried every day — by spouses who move forward alone, and by children who grow up without their parent by their side.

The Coast Guard Foundation's Fallen Heroes Scholarship was created for those children. It covers 100% of higher education costs — college, trade school, or professional certification — so they can build their futures completely debt-free.

Our Tragedy Assistance Program provides immediate financial support and ongoing resources to help families find stability and begin to heal.

Those are just some of the ways we show up for our heroes. Every gift helps us provide critical support through wellness programs, education grants, and more.

Donations are currently being doubled up to $100,000 thanks to a generous Coast Guard Foundation supporter.

This Memorial Day season, join them in making a meaningful impact.
