Fort Monroe Foundation

With a deep respect for history and a bold vision for what’s possible, the Fort Monroe Foundation is helping to build a place where the story of freedom can unfold in new and meaningful ways. We believe the richness of Fort Monroe’s past is not just something to preserve, but a powerful resource for creativity, learning, and connection. By harnessing the full story of what this site has been, we unlock bold new possibilities for what it could be and grow Fort Monroe alongside the communities we serve.

Donations to the Fort Monroe Foundation directly fuel our work to:

• Preserve History: Keeping the diverse and powerful stories of this land intact for future generations.

• Protect Nature: Conserving the waterfront and green spaces that make the Fort a sanctuary for all.

• Engage Community: Creating the unique experiences and events that bring us together.

• Promote Wellness: Ensuring Fort Monroe remains a premier destination for recreation and connection.

Our projects and initiatives include the Fort Monroe Music by the Bay summer concert series, the African Landing Memorial project, the West Bastion Preservation, project, Youth Black Culture Fest, and the Canoe Project.
