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.
