BlueForge Alliance Launches Foundation to Strengthen the Defense Industrial Base Through Philanthropic Initiatives
BRYAN/COLLEGE STATION, Texas — BlueForge Alliance (BFA), a mission-driven nonprofit whose charter is to accelerate the revitalization of the U.S. Defense Industrial Base (DIB), today announced the launch of the BlueForge Alliance Foundation, a strategic philanthropic approach to sustain and strengthen the DIB and the people essential to it.
The Foundation will operate as the philanthropic arm of BFA, engaging and cultivating individuals, institutional investors, and corporations interested in furthering BFA's mission. Designed to complement BFA’s existing efforts and augment defense programs as our nation faces generational challenges, the Foundation will grow a permanent endowment and advance initiatives that build industrial base resilience, foster innovation, and promote opportunity within the defense ecosystem — particularly for the workforce, communities, suppliers, and partners who power it every day.
“The BFA Foundation was built on a simple but urgent truth — the strength of our defense industrial base depends on the strength of the people behind it,” said Matt Prochaska, president, BlueForge Alliance Foundation. “This new entity creates a dedicated philanthropic approach for advancing efforts that directly support the communities positively impacting national security as they rise to meet the unprecedented and generational challenges our nation faces.”
The Foundation will support a wide range of mission-aligned partnerships and initiatives that focus on purpose-driven collaborations with like-minded organizations, institutions, and stakeholders across the nation and in local communities to maximize shared outcomes. By aligning with BFA’s core values and strategic priorities, the Foundation will empower flexible, forward-leaning efforts to advance career pathways, enable defense community resilience, and support the needs of the men and women who are critical to ensuring a healthy U.S. DIB — while remaining agile, community-informed, and impact-oriented.
The efforts of the BlueForge Alliance Foundation will be guided by a board of trustees and informed by ongoing coordination with government, industry, and academic partners. To learn more about the Foundation and its work, visit www.BlueForgeFoundation.org or contact info@blueforgefoundation.org.
