The primary goals and objectives of the Museum Foundation are to raise and disburse funds to:
The Museum Foundation depends on various fund raising activities and donations to carry out its goals and objectives. The 1st Cavalry Division Association Museum Foundation is a tax-exempt publicly supported organization under the provisions of section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and donations made to the Foundation are tax deductible. Your donations and support are needed and are greatly appreciated. Please consider including the Museum Foundation in your estate planned giving arrangements. The Museum Foundation's tax identification number is 91-2199014.

Main St., Copperas Cove, TX 76522-1703. We provide written acknowledgement of donations as required by law. The Museum Foundation is sponsoring a Brick & Paver Campaign to help raise funds to construct a new 1st Cavalry Division Museum. For a tax-deductible donation, a "personalized" granite brick or paver can be placed in the complex that will become the new museum. You can put your name on the brick or paver or honor a friend, unit or family member. More information and an order form are available at Brick & Paver Campaign. The Foundation contracted
with military artist James Dietz to paint a scene from Operation Iraqi
Freedom II to commemorate the First Team's participation. Prints
of "Turning the Corner" from his original artwork, are
available for purchase through the Crossed Sabers Souvenir Shop with profits from the
sale of the print going to the 1st Cavalry Division Museum Foundation to support
the goals and objectives of the Foundation. All prints are
numbered and signed by the artist. To
view this painting and obtain information on ordering this exceptional
print visit the link to ‘Turning the Corner’. The 1st Cavalry Division Museum has partnered with ShopforMuseums.com, a national museum fundraising program where you can shop with over 300 of your favorite online stores and at no extra cost to you, have a percentage of your purchase amount donated to the 1st Cavalry Division Museum Foundation!

The Museum Foundation sponsored the construction and emplacement of a Memorial to honor the Troopers of the Division who served in Operation Iraqi Freedom. Your generous donations helped to make this Memorial a reality. We estimated the cost of the Memorial at $250,000 and we have received more than $280,500 due to the generous donations of numerous individuals, businesses, and foundations. The Memorial was dedicated on 4 April, 2005 in a ceremony on Cooper Field. The Museum Foundation coordinated and paid for the adding of 493 Troopers to the Memorial after the 1st Cavalry Division returned from the OIF 06-08 deployment. The Memorial with additions was rededicated on 16 May, 2008. To view photographs of the Memorial, visit the link to the Division Memorial.
