Coast Guard Foundation Inc

Morale and well-being of coast guard members is crucial - not only so they remain always ready for their assignments, but so they can maintain their own physical and mental well-being while at sea or stationed in remote areas. We provide morale and well-being support through various initiatives including: providing exercise, sports, and outdoor recreation equipment at coast guard stations and on board cutters; funding recreation spaces in coast guard communities; offering morale support through partnership with coast guard leadership; and, providing training programs for coast guard chaplains for family counseling and suicide prevention.

When coast guard families faces difficult times, the coast guard foundation provides the support they need to recover. When natural disasters strike, the foundation offers coast guard members immediate emergency relief grants through our disaster relief and response program to help them rebuild. When coast guard families or units face the injury or loss of an active duty member, or the death of a family member, we are there with immediate financial and morale support.

Public awareness:the coast guard foundation serves as a goodwill ambassador for the service by making the public aware of the benefits of a strong coast guard. We celebrate coast guard members through our tribute events, golf tournaments, and our run to remember, a worldwide movement where thousands of individuals participate in road races, memorial walks, and other types of fitness events.
