The MCRD Museum Foundation is a nonprofit organization established in 1988 to preserve and promote Marine Corps history through historic preservation, conservation, and educational outreach. Based in San Diego, California, the foundation supports the Command Museum’s programs, scholarships, grants, and volunteer docent activities, while collaborating with local community and civilian groups to honor Marines and veterans from different eras and conflicts. Its initiatives include a gift shop that funds museum programs and exhibits, and efforts to recognize service through education and community engagement. The organization operates within the museums, historical sites, and zoos sector, focusing on ongoing civilian support to sustain museum activities beyond government funding, and serving Marines, sailors, veterans, and the surrounding community.
