About this organization
Mission
To promote the development of the U.S. Army Heritage and Education Center (USAHEC) and its programs, and to sustain and enhance the Center and the Foundation's ability to inform and educate the American public on contributions by Soldiers and the U.S. Army to our nation's history.
About
Support to the U.S. Army. The Army Heritage Center Foundation continued its efforts in 2019 to support the U.S. Army by advancing the development of the U.S. Army Heritage and Education Center (USAHEC, promoting the Center as a tourist destination and enhancing its collections, programs, and outreach. In 2019, the Foundation expended $214,385 to support these objectives. As highlighted last year, the capital campaign that will support the future expansion of the Hall of the American Soldier - a 30,000 square foot, $12 million expansion, slowed as a transition in the leadership of the U.S. Army Heritage and Education Center delayed the Foundation's ability to validate future requirements. In the interim, the Foundation took two actions. First, the Foundation initiated the construction of a much needed event pavilion on the campus to provide a year round venue for outside programs. This facility, valued at approximately $120,000, was started in October 2019 and construction continues into 2020. Second, the Board of Directors authorized the hiring of a full-time Chief of Development to focus exclusively on building the capacity of the Foundation to support future construction and enhancements to USAHEC's programs. The Foundation again promoted USAHEC as a destination for the public, Soldiers, and Veterans. During the year, the Foundation purchased advertising and marketing materials in regional tourism magazines and other media outlets to promote visitation throughout the year and to support special events. Additional media outlets include Facebook, the Foundation's website, and using an email blast system. To bring and prepare future Army officers and their ROTC cadre to USAHEC, the Foundation partnered with selected and specially trained staff ride facilitators at Gettysburg National Military Park. This program meets U.S. Army Cadet Command's requirement for senior Cadet staff rides. The program brought cadets and school cadre from 15 universities in the Northeast for presentations on the resources USAHEC can provide them once commissioned and also funded licensed battlefield guides to facilitate and improve the quality of the staff ride experience.The Foundation's active role working with potential donors of artifact, manuscript, and library collections was maintained. In 2019, the Foundation facilitated more than 200 in-kind donations totaling $166,281. Major collections acquired included additional manuscript materials related to the service of General Frederick Franks, oral history interviews, archival and artifacts highlighting the service of Secretary of the Army Togo West, and an extensive book collection focusing on the Civil War, including unit histories, biographies, and battle analysis.
