Vessel Donations Overview<\/h1>\n

The USMMA Sailing Foundation, Inc. is a 501(c)3 public foundation. Its mission is to actively solicit the donation of vessels to be used in various maritime programs for education and training.

Vessel donations are eventually sold to provide funding for maintaining current assets and to expand outreach and impact.
