Since our founding in 1995, The Marine Corps Law Enforcement Foundation (MC-LEF) has awarded more than $73 million in scholarships and other humanitarian assistance, and supported over 4,000 children. Thanks to generous donors, MC-LEF has provided a $30,000 scholarship for every child who loses a parent serving in the United States Marine Corps or any Federal Law Enforcement Officer. In recent years, we have expanded our giving to provide medical equipment and financial support to catastrophically wounded Marines, as well as financial support for mentally or physically disabled children of active duty Marines (for expenses not covered by government insurance.) MC -LEF is an approved IRS 501(c) 3 organization that has been recognized for our excellence and efficiency by the Independent Charities of America. With only one paid employee, working only part-time, and a full network of over 165 volunteers, 98% of all donations to MC-LEF go directly to fund our mission.
In the past, MC-LEF has also aided the children of other military personnel who perished in terrorist attacks and in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
