Welcome to Planned Giving

Making a planned gift is a wonderful way to show your support and appreciation for the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy (USMMA) and Regiment of Midshipmen through the USMMA Alumni Association and Foundation (AAF) and its mission while accommodating your own personal, financial, estate-planning, and philanthropic goals. With smart planning, you may actually increase the size of your estate and/or reduce your heirs' tax burden. Just as important, you will know that you have made a meaningful contribution to the USMMA AAF.

We recommend that you familiarize yourself with various gift options by exploring How to Give and What to Give. Then compare gift options and how these gifts could work for you. And, of course, please contact us for assistance or to discuss your personal situation and objectives.
