About the Foundation

Our Board

The Coast Guard Foundation is governed by a Board of Trustees from all parts of the country. The Trustees elect from their members a Board of Directors to oversee the Foundation. Our board also features an executive committee of directors who serve as an internal governing body with the entire Board of Directors and Trustees. Our board members are dedicated individuals who contribute valuable time and energy to the Foundation.

“Being a Coast Guard spouse has not always been the easiest, between leaving my family and friends in Georgia and learning how to live alone, but in the end it has been worth it.”

“A few years after the CG-6505 accident, I learned how much the Foundation helped my family and the other 6505 families. They did what they could to help my family during this crisis and still continue to remember and honor my dad.”
