THE FOUNDATION FOR AMERICA’S ARMY MUSEUM

The National Museum of the United States Army honors the history and heritage of the American Soldier. It educates the public about the storied history of the U.S. Army and its important relationship with the Nation as a whole. To date, the Army Historical Foundation (AHF) has raised over $180,000,000 to support this important national landmark. We have over 40 corporate donors and more than 130 individual supporters on the Museum’s Donor Wall (minimum donation of $50,000). We are still working to raise funds needed to complete this ambitious project.

THE MAJOR GIVING TEAM

“It is a personal and professional honor to promote the mission of The Army Historical Foundation through raising funds that support the National Museum of the United States Army. Preserving the history and heritage of the United States Army is a great privilege and I take pride in the role I play in honoring our great American Soldiers.”

“I am honored to support the National Army Museum and recognize the service and sacrifice of our military members every day.”

“I am proud and honored to do the work that I do, my family like yours have served or made it their mission to support our Army/ Armed Forces and that is why I am serving, to make a difference. The Army Historical Foundation has offered me the opportunity to change the world around me, my community, and help others learn of the Army’s strong history.”

It is a great privilege to support the National Army Museum in remembering and honoring the service and sacrifice of American Soldiers. As an Army veteran’s spouse, the mission of The Army Historical Foundation is of great importance to me, and I am proud to assist in preserving and sharing the history of the American Soldier and the Army Family.

After 30 years of wearing the uniform of the United States Army, I am excited to be a part of the Foundation team whose mission is to support this Museum. As our Nation’s newest National treasure, this building represents all those who have worn the uniform, their families, civilians, and supporters. It is not only the Army’s history — but also America’s history. They go hand in hand, and this is proudly displayed here in every exhibit. Come visit and share the experience!
