The PIHF was established in 1990 under Marine Corps Order 5750.1, “Command Museums,” as a 501(c)3 Non-Profit Charitable and Membership organization to support the Parris Island Museum. The Letter of Incorporation and By Laws were approved by South Carolina Secretary of State, and the Depot’s Commanding General authorized the operation of the gift shop shortly thereafter.
