Ways to Give
Since 1924, CGMA has proudly served the Coast Guard community. We invite you to join us in Helping Our Own with a donation that is meaningful to you. With your support, Mutual Assistance will provide direct financial assistance to help ease the burdens and relieve the financial strain for Coast Guard members in need. CGMA does not receive any government funding. We rely on your contributions, along with loan repayments and investment income. Thank you for giving as generously as you can!
Give Help
Whether through legacy gifts, donating stock, tribute gifts, or volunteering your time, your contribution helps ensure that we can continue to provide essential assistance and resources. Together, we can make a meaningful difference in the lives of those who serve our nation’s Coast Guard.
Other Ways to Give:
Legacy Gift / Planned Giving
Extend compassion with a future gift. Including a gift to CGMA in your estate plans, either as a bequest or trust, or beneficiary of a retirement plan or insurance policy, is a powerful way to leave a legacy and demonstrate your commitment to the families and members who are serving or have served in the Coast Guard.
Donate Stock
When you gift stocks and other securities directly to a charity, you make an outsized impact without taking money directly out of your bank account. Plus, neither you nor the charity will be taxed on the gains for appreciated assets you donate.
Meet your giving goals, enjoy potential tax benefits, and contribute to the change you want to see. That’s a triple-win.
Memorial or Tribute Gift
A tribute gift is an excellent way to honor the service and dedication of an individual who has been a special part of your life while supporting the men and women of the U.S Coast Guard.
Volunteer
Today is a good day to make a positive impact in the lives of our Coast Guard community. By donating your time and talent as a volunteer with Coast Guard Mutual Assistance, you are truly offering a helping hand when it is needed most. No matter where you live, opportunities are available. Together, we are Helping Our Own.
Corporate Partnerships
As the go-to resource for the Coast Guard community, CGMA values how our corporate partners can amplify our efforts to bring financial relief to the Coast Guard community.
