Preserving and Sharing Coast Guard History


Preserving and Sharing the Legacy of the U.S. Coast Guard
The Foundation for Coast Guard History is a nonprofit organization that promotes the recognition and prestige of the United States Coast Guard by emphasizing its illustrious past and contributions to the nation.
Our mission is to preserve and share the legacy of the U.S. Coast Guard by creating educational opportunities, supporting archival and museum efforts, and promoting public engagement with Coast Guard history. Through contests, grants, scholarships, and internships, we advance historical research, foster creative works, and restore historic properties in partnership with the Coast Guard’s Office of Heritage and the Historian’s Office.
By collaborating with the Coast Guard and National Coast Guard Museum Association, we ensure the rich history of the Coast Guard is accessible and celebrated for generations to come.
