The Coast Guard Foundation tackles the toughest challenges confronting our heroes. We strengthen the Coast Guard community and service by being there for members and their families, where and when they need it the most. Strengthen Morale and Community One of the most challenging aspects of life in the Coast Guard is balancing responsibilities of family and duty. Because of these challenges, we support units and families around the country in various ways. Assist Families In Times of Tragedy During difficult times we are reminded of the stark danger that Coast Guard personnel face on a daily basis, and the sacrifice these brave individuals are willing to make for their country. Honor Heroism and Mission Excellence Central to our mission is recognizing Coast Guard heroism at tribute events across the country highlighting the importance of the service to the foundation of our nation. Empower Academy Cadets Our support to the Coast Guard Academy assists with the academic enrichment, leadership development, and athletic programs for the Coast Guard's future leaders. Support Auxiliary and Reserve Members Annually, we grant scholarships to Coast Guard Reserve families, and provide support to Auxiliary flotillas around the country to support their many missions.
