Educating the Children of Those Who Sacrificed All

Our Mission

To encourage the spiritual, moral, intellectual and physical development of children through education. Formed in February 1995 by former Marines and law enforcement personnel, we strongly believe that our Nation’s most precious resource is its youth.

Our Story

MC-LEF provides scholarships to the children of fallen United States Marines and Federal Law Enforcement Officers (FLEO).

Since 1995, the Foundation has provided over $90,000,000 in assistance and support to the families of our nation’s fallen heroes. Arizona families have been the beneficiaries of much of this support prior to the start of our Arizona Chapter in 2004.

Since 2004, the Foundation has provided over $1,900,000 in support to Arizona children and families of our fallen heroes.

Although MC-LEF is immensely proud of our work to date, there is still much to be done. For more information on the Marine Corps-Law Enforcement Foundation please visit our national website at www.mc-lef.org. Visit this website for more about our history and national events that support our mission.

We invite you to join us as a sponsor, donor, or participant at one of our upcoming Arizona events. Visit the Events page of this website to learn more.

Our 18th Annual Golf Tournament is June 9, 2023, at the Grayhawk Golf Club in Scottsdale, AZ.

Through your support of our mission and the families of our heroes, you will be richly rewarded. Supporters are making a difference in the lives of the families who have sacrificed so much for our country. We invite you to join us at our events to meet the families and children we serve.

MC-LEF is an approved 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that has been recognized for its excellence by the Independent Charities of America. With only one paid employee who works only part-time and more than 65 volunteers, all donations to MC-LEF go directly to fund our mission.
