Marine Corps University Foundation: Changing Lives and Saving Lives!

Our Mission

The Marine Corps University Foundation provides resources that enhance and enrich professional military education and leadership of Marines, whether enrolled within the Marine Corps University or within the Operating Forces and Supporting Establishment throughout the Marine Corps.

Who We Are

The Marine Corps University Foundation (MCUF) was originally incorporated in the Commonwealth of Virginia on June 25, 1980 as the Marine Corps Command and Staff College Foundation and was established as a private organization operating exclusively for educational purposes. Initially the Foundation’s role was to enhance and enrich the professional education and leadership development of Marines at the Command and Staff College. Today, the Foundation's program focus begins with the Marine Corps University at Quantico, Virginia and extends to support professional military education for the Operating Forces and Supporting Establishment throughout the Marine Corps.
