The Flying Leatherneck Historical Foundation directly supports the Flying Leatherneck Aviation Museum. A 501(c) (3) non-profit organization, the Foundation is lead by a volunteer board that is committed to:
raising funds,
recruiting and training volunteers, and
proactively supporting and promoting the Flying Leatherneck Aviation Museum and the United States Marine Corps.Through the efforts of the Foundation, the Flying Leatherneck Aviation Museum proudly boasts an inventory of 40 historically significant aircraft. The board and its volunteers are responsible for raising the funds needed for restorative maintenance of the aircraft. The Museum Gift Shop, totally run by a corps of dedicated volunteers, provides significant funds toward the maintenance and acquisition of aircraft. In addition, volunteers conduct tours and assist in the collection and preservation of historical artifacts.
