  • Support our national wellness projects to ensure units remain mission-ready
  • Deliver financial relief to Coast Guard families impacted by natural disasters
  • Award scholarships and grants to members and their families
  • And so much more

Coast Guard Foundation Guardian Circle Giving Levels

Thanks to friends like you, we can help meet the evolving needs of the Coast Guard community, including enriching opportunities for their children. For example, your generosity helps provide grants that help children of service members to attend summer camps and access technology in a safe, supportive environment. At the same time, parents and caregivers can continue working, easing challenges faced by many Coast Guard families. “Coastie Camper” Tallulah shared, “I got to go to sailing camp. I learned how to set up my sailboat and how to tie a square knot. I had a really good time. Thank you again.” 

And Rylee expressed, “thank you so much for my coastie camper scholarship. I got to do my favorite thing — dance! I spent all of July at Ballet Hawaii learning lots of new things. My heart is so full!” 

GC Levels Benefits

We also support the physical and mental wellness of members, helping them to meet the challenges of their duties. There is so much impact to be made. Whether through scholarships, resilience support, or addressing new and emerging needs for the community, your support can make a lasting difference.
