GivingTuesday 2025: Support the Coast Guard Foundation

On December 2, 2025, the Coast Guard Foundation is taking part in the global GivingTuesday movement. Thanks to a generous $25,000 matching gift from Talos Energy, your GivingTuesday 2025 donation will be doubled while match funds last - powering scholarships, emergency relief, and unit morale programs that keep our Coast Guard community ready and resilient.

Why Support Coast Guard Foundation This GivingTuesday?

• Fast, focused support: Many needs fall outside traditional budgets or require rapid action. Your gift bridges that gap.
• Strength for families: Scholarships and emergency aid help spouses and children thrive, stabilizing the entire community.
• Readiness and morale: Unit grants improve fitness, wellness, and connection across stations, cutters, and air stations.
• Impact where it’s needed: Coast Guard units often serve far from large bases - your generosity reaches them directly.

Double your impact with a $25,000 match from Talos Energy

Thanks to Talos Energy, every GivingTuesday donation will be matched dollar-for-dollar, up to a total of $25,000. That means your $50 becomes $100, and your $250 becomes $500 — fueling scholarships, emergency relief, and unit morale programs. The match applies until the $25,000 cap is reached, so giving early makes the biggest difference. While match funds remain, your gift goes twice as far to support Coast Guard members and families.

Real-World Readiness and Resilience

Imagine a unit rebuilding after a storm with emergency assistance for lodging and essentials. Picture a spouse completing a degree thanks to a scholarship, or a cutter crew staying mission-ready with refreshed fitness equipment. These everyday moments are powered by donors who believe that taking care of people is essential to mission success.
