The Allied Forces Foundation, Inc.

The Allied Forces Foundation, Inc. is designed to recognize and further the Steadfast Alliance of the United States and the United Kingdom, which nations' long history of cooperation and comradeship has most recently been tested in conflicts subsequent to the World Trade Center attacks of 9/11.

The mission of the Allied Forces Foundation, Inc. is to raise funds for Allied comrades wounded in these conflicts and to raise awareness of the ongoing challenges faced by injured soldiers and their families.




"Beyond the strategic relationship, so many of us from both nations have fought literally side by side, that this modern relationship between the US and UK military means a great deal to us.

It has a depth and emotion to it that is profound..."

Welcome to the Allied Forces Foundation, Inc.



Along with directors Stephen Cain and Mark Beaumont, AFF Pipe Major Terence McGovern was invited to the renaming of the British Garden at Hanover Square on May 2, 2012, and piped at the commencement of the ceremony. Henceforth, with a view to being more inclusive of all Commonwealth and allied nations, the garden is to be known as the "Queen Elizabeth II September 11th Garden". Others in this picture include the Dean of Westminster, NYC Parks Commissioner Adrian Benepe and the Australian, Canadian and British Consul-Generals.

The Allied Forces Foundation, Inc. is a British-American foundation established to recognize and further the special relationship of both those nations, and to work to raise awareness and funding primarily for our common wounded and their families affected by the conflicts of Iraq and Afghanistan.

The Allied Forces Foundation, Inc. salutes our comrades of the Commonwealth and other nations of the Steadfast Alliance in these conflicts, and additionally works to raise awareness and funds for their wounded and families who share the common pain.
