Coast Guard Mutual Assistance Hurricane Katrina Account

In the wake of the devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina, there has been an outpouring of compassion for those Coast Guard members and families hard hit by this disaster in the impact area.  Many have expressed a desire to help.   

In response, Coast Guard Mutual Assistance (CGMA) has established an account to receive contributions designated for that specific purpose.  Contributions marked “Katrina” will be earmarked and tracked to ensure they are used first and foremost to meet the needs of Coast Guard members and families associated with Hurricane Katrina in accordance with normal CGMA policies and procedures.  In the event there are funds left over after meeting needs associated with Hurricane Katrina, they will be placed in CGMA’s general account to assist members of the Coast Guard family in times of financial need. 

Tax deductible contributions should be made out to "Coast Guard Mutual Assistance or CGMA" by check, money order or with a credit card marked in the memo area or noted for "Katrina."  Contribution forms are available on the CGMA Web site:  www.cgmahq.org.  Click on "Contributing to CGMA."

Checks, payable to "CGMA" may be sent to the following address:

Coast Guard Mutual Assistance

4200 Wilson Blvd., Suite 610

Arlington, VA  22203-1804

Secure credit card contributions may be made online through the CGMA Web site.  Click on "Contributing to CGMA," then on "Credit Card."
