The Laguna Niguel Military Support Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation, supports the activities and events of the Military Support Committee that was formed in 2007. The Foundation provides support to the City’s three adopted military units – 1st US Marine Regiment, the USS Stockdale, and the 1st Assault Helicopter Battalion, 140th Army Aviation Regiment, National Guard.
Our Military Support efforts are divided into two separate entities: The Laguna Niguel Military Support Foundation and the Laguna Niguel Military Support Committee. The men and women of our armed forces and their families often face special challenges and needs. The Foundation is the financial arm of the support and assistance to past and present military members and specifically to the adopted units of the City of Laguna Niguel but is not associated with the City in any way. The Committee of the city is the functional arm of the support for adopted units of the City of Laguna Niguel that works closely with command-appointed liaisons from these units to determine their needs and how best to meet them. With the financial leadership and support of the Foundation, the Committee conducts a variety of fundraising activities to secure the funding and donations from the community and both The Foundation and The Committee rely heavily on the kindness and generosity of the public, individuals, businesses, and corporate sponsors to support events and activities throughout the year. The Foundation accepts donations on behalf of the Committee and disburses funds as needed to help accomplish the City Committee’s mission.
