About The Marine Corps University Foundation
Founded in 1980, the Marine Corps University Foundation has provided substantial intellectual and financial resources to the Marine Corps University. The Marine Corps University educates active-duty Marines; sister service officers; allied and friendly nation personnel and governmental individuals in security studies, terrorism, warfighting, emerging states and defense policy, along with critical geostrategic matters. Marines then apply this knowledge in conflict zones around the world. The University equips Marines with critical thinking skills that will enable them to achieve success throughout their careers. Given the University’s finite resources, the Foundation raises funds to ensure its mission accomplishment.
