The George C. Marshall Foundation honors the life and legacy of one of the most important figures of the 20th century. Only through the generosity of donors can the Marshall Foundation carry out its mission of preserving Marshall’s legacy and promoting his example of personal integrity, selfless service, and visionary leadership to present and future generations.
A fully private non-profit, the Foundation was founded in 1953 to ensure that George C. Marshall’s example will never be forgotten. Through a world-class research library, public programs, educational initiatives, and a host of digital offerings, it is the leading institution documenting one of the most important Americans of the twentieth century.
The State Department crafted the Marshall Plan concept, which George Marshall shared with the world in a speech on June 5, 1947, at Harvard University.
The mission of the George C. Marshall Research Library is collecting, preserving, and making available a documented record of the life and public service career of Gen. Marshall, and others of his time.
