The Coast Guard Foundation, Inc. Annual Report 2010 the coast guard foundation, inc. annual report 2010 h the coast guard foundation Inspiring leadership, learning and a proud legacy of service to our nation by supporting the men and women of the United States Coast Guard and their families. he coast guard foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization founded in 1969. It was initially created to provide funds for academic, athletic, and morale needs of the Coast Guard Academy and its cadets which were not Tcovered by federal operational funding. In 1986, the Foundation expanded its charter to support projects that enhance the education, welfare and morale of all Coast Guard members and their families. The Foundation is governed by a Board of 100 Trustees from all parts of the country. The Trustees elect from their members a 30 person Board of Directors to oversee the management of the Foundation. Located in Stonington, Connecticut, the Foundation employs a staff of twelve civilians responsible for meeting the Foundation’s objectives and working closely with the Coast Guard to ensure its forces are semper paratus, always ready. The Coast Guard Foundation helps Coast Guard men and women strengthen their service to our nation by encouraging them to excel, on duty and off. The Foundation supports numerous programs and projects through donations from individuals, corporations, foundations and fundraising events. The Foundation supports academic, athletic, and leadership excellence for cadets at the Academy; provides financial support to Coast Guard families who lose a loved one in the line of duty; offers financial relief to Coast Guard families who lose their possessions in natural disasters; provides college scholarships to dependents of enlisted personnel; funds recreation and family-oriented facilities; and supports education and morale programs at bases and on cutters around the nation; as well as hundreds of smaller projects. h from the chairman ross e. roeder chairman of the board of directors h t’s a pleasure and an honor to lead this organization because of the quality of the people who serve in the Coast Guard, of which I am reminded of whenever I meet these brave men and women. I would like to thank the Coast Guard and its leadership, espe- Icially Commandant Robert Papp and Vice Commandant Sally Brice-O’Hara, who are terrific partners in our mission of improving the daily lives of Coast Guard personnel. The economic climate in 2010 was to make the dream of a college education challenging, but thanks to the generosity a reality.

Ross E. Roeder Chairman, Coast Guard Foundation 2 z coast guard foundation 2010 annual report from the commandant admiral robert j. papp commandant, united states coast guard h ear friends, On behalf of our Coast Guard men and women and their families, I’d like to simply say thank you. 2010 was unprecedented. Our Coast Guardsmen Dwere deployed like never before — first responding to the devastat- ing Haitian earthquake — and then, with the dust from Haiti still in their boots, to the Deepwater Horizon oil rig explosion and what evolved into the largest offshore oil spill in our history. Over 700 Coast Guardsmen remain deployed in the Arabian Gulf, protect- ing oil platforms that provide nearly all of Iraq’s revenue. While thousands surged to meet these challenges, many others who remained behind stretched to perform our everyday missions — missions that are vital to keeping our ports and waterways safe, our oceans clean and our homeland secure. Your tireless support was instrumental to these efforts. Coast Guardsmen on the front lines took comfort in knowing you were taking care of the home front. When the sky darkens and the seas get rough, a good ship captain will rig life lines fore and aft. Should a crew member have to venture out on the weather decks, the lifelines will prevent them from falling overboard. For more than 40 years, you have been our lifeline. Your lifelines have kept our families safe, sound and onboard — no matter what the challenges or storms they confront. Sometimes it’s simple things like playground and pavilions where families can gather together and around which commu- nities are built. Other times, it is initiatives that are truly life-changing like scholarship funds that provide the means to obtain an education and open the doors to new opportunity. And then, in our toughest times and in our times of greatest need, the Coast Guard Foundation Family Disaster Relief Fund aids the families of the fallen, helping shoulder the financial burden as our families attempt to shoulder the incomprehensible burden of loss. Unlike military members and their families, nobody asks you for your support. Instead, you do it out of the truest sense of kindness, honor and citizenship. Your support makes a tremendous difference every day. Thank you for your generosity. Thank you for all your good works. Thank you for continuing to be our lifeline. With Gratitude, R.J. Papp, Jr. Admiral, U.S. Coast Guard coast guard foundation 2010 annual report z 3 coast guard morale support coast guard foundation shipmate fund h Through the Foundation, a new playground for families stationed in Port Angeles, Washington was dedicated in 2010. n 2010 the coast guard foundation renamed its morale, education and fitness program from the Evergreen Fund to the Coast Guard Foundation Shipmate Fund.
