Our purpose is both simple and straightforward. Admiral Carey has had an incredibly successful and productive, fulfilling and satisfying life of service to America and humanity, and now wishes to “give back” to his country through many of these same organizations, institutions, and associations that have been helpful and supportive of him in achieving that productive life, either mentoring him or educating him or training him at various stages of his multiple careers.

The Admiral has established a Trust which now holds and manages all of his assets, the purpose being that this trust structure is to oversee his estate after his death and ensure that his wife and daughters are well and properly cared for during the remainder of their lives, and that as they ultimately follow him at life’s end, there is a pre-established and structured plan to donate all of the Admiral’s assets in phases over time into The Admiral James J. Carey Foundation, Inc. These foundation funds will then be used to fund perpetual endowments for those organizations that have signed written agreements with the foundation during the Admiral’s lifetime, committing to adhere to certain pre-established principles and follow certain pre-established requirements known as “donor intent” in order to qualify to receive and then continue to receive these endowments in perpetuity. Full details on all these programs are available as designated throughout this web site.

As the Admiral is so fond of saying, “Welcome Aboard”.
