250th Anniversary Legacy Challenge
250th Anniversary Legacy Challenge
For a limited time, a group of generous donors has established a $500,000 matching fund to inspire MCHF supporters. These funds will match new, previously undisclosed, or increased planned gift commitments at 10% of their estimated value, up to $50,000 per gift. For example, if you document a planned gift with an estimated value of $70,000, the MCHF will receive $70,000 from your estate after your lifetime, plus a $7,000 matching gift to support our mission immediately.
This opportunity is available until the $500,000 matching pool is fully allocated or on December 31, 2025, at the conclusion of the MCHF’s celebration of the United States Marine Corps’ 250th Anniversary.
Don’t miss this chance to amplify your impact—both now and for future generations. Your planned gift will secure MCHF’s long-term health, while the matching funds provide immediate support to our mission.
How Does the 250th Anniversary Legacy Challenge Work?
Step 1
Include MCHF in your will, trust, IRA, or other beneficiary designation.
Step 2
Document your planned gift intention by contacting:
union@marineheritage.orgor call 703-586-7463
Step 3
Unlock a matching gift valued at 10% of your future gift (up to $50,000) to support MCHF’s mission today.
There is no minimum contribution required to unlock the matching gift.
Flexible for Today and Tomorrow
You can support the MCHF while ensuring financial security for yourself and your loved ones. Updating beneficiaries is simple and gifts included in wills or trusts can be adjusted as life circumstances change. By retaining control of your assets during your lifetime, your planned gift costs you nothing now.
Additionally, planned gifts often allow for larger contributions over time than what might be feasible as annual gifts.
Provides Support for the Future
Planned gifts create a stable financial foundation for the MCHF. Sharing your intention helps us plan effectively, ensuring that programs and events you love—and new ones yet to come—can inspire future generations.
The National Museum of the Marine Corps honors the history, traditions, and culture of the Marine Corps, offering inspiration and comfort to Marines and their families. By making a planned gift, you ensure these experiences endure for your family, friends, and generations to come.
