How to Help -
MLI Fundraising Campaigns
The Marshall Legacy Institute is only able to carry out our lifesaving work thanks to caring individuals who give their time and energy to making the world a better place. We are honored to have students, organizations, schools, companies, and individuals devote their giving campaigns to sponsor a mine detection dog, support a survivor, finance student-led projects, and more.

Help these generous individuals fulfill their mission by supporting
an MLI Fundraising Campaign!
MDD Campaigns
Dayton Dog
30 years ago, Dayton, Ohio hosted the peace talks to end the Bosnian War. In the years since, MLI has set 49 mine detection dogs to Bosnia and Herzegovina, and in 2021 was proud to celebrate Sarajevo being declared mine-free alongside our partners. MLI is honoring Dayton's peacekeeping legacy with a special fundraiser to send a new MDD to BiH: MDD Dayton!
CHAMPS

Survivor's Assistance
Want to start your own campaign?
Sponsoring a Dog
It costs $25,000 to purchase, train, and send a mine detection dog to a mine affected country. Fully sponsoring a mine detection dog allows you to make an invaluable contribution towards removing landmines that threaten the lives, health, and peace of many communities around the world. You will receive regular updates and photos about your dog and you get to name him/her! MLI also invites MDD sponsors to join us in visiting mine-affected countries each year so you can see your dog at work. Please contact us for more information or Learn More here.
Sponsoring a Survivor
Children injured by landmines face a life-time of struggles. In many countries, the children who have lost limbs do not have access to the medical care, counseling, or prosthetic limbs they need to help them recover from this devastating tragedy. Many are unable to continue attending school and face seemingly insurmountable challenges in a life that would have been difficult under the best of circumstances. You can help a child receive the physical and psychological treatment needed to move forward by supporting our Survivors’ Assistance program. Learn more here.
