NAVY MARINE CORPS PROUD FOUNDATION INC The Navy Marine Corps PROUD Foundation journey began in 2005 when a Navy spouse, a long time Society volunteer, proposed local fund raising efforts to support the mission of the San Diego region Society offices. The idea was to raise funds to supplement the mission of the local Society offices and their goals. She learned there are many people who have a passion to support our local military but wanted their donations to stay in the San Diego area. Thus, the journey began, and the PROUD Foundation was formed. In teaming up with San Diego based Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society offices and the local bases; Sailors, Marines, Veterans, Retirees and families of San Diego, who are in need of assistance but couldn’t be helped by the Society, would be referred to the PROUD Foundation. The dream of raising funds to help our own in San Diego became a reality and our mission to serve those in need who serve in our military or have served, has begun. We are P.R.O.U.D. - Please Remember Our Unwavering Devotion The Navy Marine Corps P.R.O.U.D. Foundation is a nonprofit organization providing financial and in-kind support to San Diego County’s Navy Marine Corps Relief Society programs & local active duty Sailors, Marines, Veterans, Retirees and their families in need.
