Dedicated to Preserving the Unique History of Army Navy Country Club And Serving the Community Through Philanthropic Support

Fort Richardson: (May 2021) The second phase of the Fort Richardson Initiative has been completed. Please go to the “Mission” page for an update on the initiative. The July 2021 – Did You Know provides the background and pictures of the interpretive displays that are installed near the fort. The Foundation needs your support to continue initiatives like this one and the others on this website.

Staff Support Program – In July 2016 the Foundation in partnership with the Army Navy Country Club established a needs-based assistance program to help the dedicated ANCC staff and their families in times of crisis.

Since its inception the Program has been called upon several times to support our staff. The Coronavirus Pandemic and the resultant staff furlough significantly increased the challenges faced by the staff and the need for temporary financial assistance. A call to action went out to the ANCC membership in March 2020 and the Foundation received a huge response from the membership. Over 500 members have donated to the Foundation since the pandemic started.

This generosity has allowed the Foundation as of June 22, 2023 to provide support to over 185 ANCC employees with tax free grants and interest free loans of over $190,000.

When hardship strikes, the ANCC Staff Support Program may be used to help staff and their families with urgent medical and dental expenses, funeral expenses, emergency travel, basic living expenses, vehicle expenses, child care/respite, moving expenses, and other unforeseen and unavoidable events meriting support.

The ANCC Staff Support Program funds are made available through an application process submitted by an ANCC employee in need. The process is confidential and the employee application is reviewed and endorsed by ANCC senior staff and submitted to the ANCC Foundation Board of Directors for final approval.

How you can continue to help…

This program only works when the Foundation receives donations from you. This is a tax deductible way to support the ANCC employees and their families.
