If you were fortunate enough to meet Janelle Cooper, you will know that this statement about her from The Guru, is true: “Jane Ellen Marks Cooper, my bride of 60 years.  I have lightly termed her “The Countess”, as that is the only title I may apply to the consort of a “Guru”. The Countess is the only person I have ever encountered, either in person or by reputation, who is without flaw.  Life has handed her its full share of tribulation, fulfillment, and adventure, and she has met each successive year with unmatched wisdom, courage, and pleasure – in equal measure.  The Countess is one of God’s best handworks.  I must have led a truly exemplary life in my previous incarnation if I deserve her in this one”

Our Mission:

Our purpose is to promote and perpetuate the teachings and philosophy of Jeff Cooper, with special emphasis on the proper techniques for the use of small arms, the importance of self-reliance and the individual right and duty of self-defense.

The Foundation awards scholarships for training and education in the Cooper tradition.   In addition, it preserves, archives and maintains  Colonel Cooper’s writings and personal collections so that they may provide study and learning opportunities and inspiration for generations to come.
