Info from MC-LEF
Thanks to our generous donors, MC-LEF currently establishes a $35,000 educational account for every child who loses a parent serving on active duty in the United States Marine Corps, Navy Corpsman or as a Federal Law Enforcement Agent. Since our founding in 1995, MC-LEF has awarded over $92 million in educational accounts and other humanitarian assistance to over 4700 recipients. We have only one paid employee and, therefore, the vast majority of our efforts are performed by a dedicated group of volunteers who run our various events.
Additionally, all officers and board members are also volunteers and together, we are extremely efficient in running our organization so that donor funds are predominantly used to accomplishour mission ofEducating the Children of Those Who Sacrificed All.
As of March 30, 2023, we have awarded $563,310 to 38 recipients this year
Since 1995, we have awarded $90,834,589 to 4,753 recipients.
