Invest in the Preservation of the American Soldier’s Story with a Trusted Partner in Preserving Army History and Service
The Military Heritage Foundation, doing business as the Army Heritage Center Foundation, exists to ensure that the lived experiences of U.S. Army soldiers—past and present—are preserved, interpreted, and shared with the American public.
Founded by civic leaders, veterans, and historians, the Foundation played a central role in the creation of the U.S. Army Heritage and Education Center (USAHEC) in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. USAHEC continues to be the primary beneficiary of our philanthropic contributions.
Today, we build on that legacy by expanding public access to Army history, amplifying soldier voices, and strengthening connections between the military and the communities it serves.
Your investment sustains work that is national in scope, nonpartisan in character, and enduring in impact.
