Army Heritage Center Foundation

About

The Army Heritage Center Foundation (AHCF) originally named The Military Heritage Foundation, is a charitable organization, 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to sharing the stories of U.S. Army soldiers from all eras, fostering understanding and building meaningful connections between the military and civilian communities. The Foundation accomplishes its mission through public outreach, community-building, resource-sharing, education, and philanthropic investments in the preservation of Army history through the biographical lens of the American Soldier. The primary beneficiary of the Army Heritage Center Foundation's philanthropic contributions is the U.S. Army Heritage and Education Center (USAHEC) in historic Carlisle, Pennsylvania. The Foundation has supported the center for over a quarter century, beginning in 1999 when then-Secretary of the Army Louis Caldera authorized the center's creation. Since then, the Foundation has helped the Center grow into the 56-acre campus it is today. AHCF is separate from the U.S. Army Heritage and Education Center. As a private, nonprofit, non-Federal entity, AHCF is not affiliated with the Department of Defense and has no governmental status.
