The Citadel Foundation was created in the year 2000 to consolidate and strengthen fundraising endeavors on behalf of the college. The new foundation was established by combining elements of the former Citadel Development Foundation and the college's Office of Institutional Advancement. The mission of The Citadel Foundation is to support the full range and scope of the college's needs, which is an expansion of the charge of the former CDF. Under the umbrella of The Citadel Foundation, funding is secured for the college in a variety of areas including scholarships, capital projects, academic endowments, athletic facilities, and many other areas.

four diamonds in the logo not only represent the quadrangle (our strong link to
the institution, our history, and our traditions), but also represent the four
cornerstones of development under the concept of "The Whole Person"- mentally,
physically, spiritually, and militarily. The chevrons signify leadership---the Foundation's leadership in the past as well as our future leadership in securing the resources necessary for The Citadel to uphold its proud history of producing principled leaders for generations to come. |

Placing the emphasis on "Citadel" in our name stresses the fact that our mission has shifted to supporting all aspects of the college, not solely academics as in the past.
