FORT MONROE NATIONAL PARK FOUNDATION
The Fort Monroe National Park Foundation, Inc. was formed in June 2007 by leaders of Citizens for a Fort Monroe National Park as a separate nonprofit, educational foundation dedicated to educating the public and promoting better understanding nationally, regionally and locally of the importance and potential of the 570 acres constituting Fort Monroe. The foundation has been licensed by the Commonwealth of Virginia to solicit funds and has been organized and operates in compliance with Section 501 (c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The foundation's application for recognition of its 501(c)(3) exemption was approved by the IRS in 2008, meaning your donations to the foundation are tax deductible to the fullest extent permitted by law.
The foundation pursues various educational efforts related to Fort Monroe and its future, including studies, programs, and production and distribution of educational materials. The foundation recently commissioned a study of public waterfront open space in Hampton Roads by the nationally recognized Trust for Public Land, in order to provide the public a better understanding of the role the open space (and potentially also the reclaimed open space) at Fort Monroe could play in the quality of life and the economy of Hampton Roads. The foundation will pursue other efforts related to the best use of Fort Monroe and its sustainability in 2008 and beyond.
The foundation needs YOUR FINANCIAL HELP to pursue its mission! Please give as generously as you can. Please send your checks, payable to "Fort Monroe National Park Foundation, Inc.," to:
