Advancing the National Work Together
Sponsors & Partners
The Military Child World Expo Foundation (MCWEF) collaborates with sponsors, philanthropic partners, community organizations, and institutions that share a commitment to recognizing, supporting, and preserving the identity of military-connected children.
​
Sponsors & Partners outlines how partners contribute to the national work and how MCWEF stewards those relationships responsibly.
