Founded in 1984, the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund is dedicated to telling the story of American Law Enforcement and making it safer for those who serve. A nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization, the Memorial Fund built and continues to maintain the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial—the nation’s monument to federal, state and local law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty.
The Memorial Fund is a principal organizer of the annual National Police Week observance and hosts a Candlelight Vigil each May 13th to honor all fallen officers.
More recently, the Memorial Fund has built the National Law Enforcement Museum, adjacent to the Memorial in Washington, DC. The Museum tells the story of American law enforcement through exhibits, collections, research and education.
The Memorial Fund does not receive taxpayer dollars for its day-to-day operations, but relies on the generous contributions of the public.
The National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund donors are generous and caring donors and a primary audience for Human Services Organizations, from Veterans to Armed Forces to Police & Firefighter nonprofits. In addition, Health, International Relief, Societal Benefit and Animal Welfare Nonprofits will find a responsive audience for their fundraising campaigns. |
