Coast Guard Foundation
The Coast Guard Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization founded in 1969. It was initially created to provide funds for academic, athletic, and morale needs of the Coast Guard Academy and its cadets which were not covered by federal operational funding. In 1986, the Foundation expanded its charter to support projects that enhance the education, welfare and morale of all Coast Guard members and their families. The Foundation is governed by a Board of 100 Trustees from all parts of the country. The Trustees elect from their members a 30 person Board of Directors to oversee the management of the Foundation. Located in Stonington, Connecticut, the Foundation employs a staff of ten civilians responsible for meeting the Foundation’s objectives and working closely with the Coast Guard on all issues.

The Coast Guard Foundation is pleased to announce the establishment of The Commander Daniel J. Christovich Scholarship Fund in honor of Commander Christovich’s retirement earlier this year after 23 years of distinguished service.
 
The Chrstovich family wanted to find a meaningful way to celebrate Dan’s longtime service in the Coast Guard, therefore they decided to establish a scholarship fund in his name which will remain in perpetuity at the Foundation. Each year, a Commander Daniel J. Christovich scholar will be named and the Foundation will award the deserving student of an enlisted person a $2,500 scholarship for undergraduate studies.
