What does it mean to be a “Partner?”
Becoming a Partner demonstrates your commitment to both the Foundation and the Coast Guard, while also providing valuable opportunities for engagement. Partners will advertise in the annual Coast Guard Community Guide, sponsor as well as participate in the annual Southern New Jersey Coast Guard Ball and the Coast Guard Community Festival and serve as a collaborator in our Support Programs. These initiatives are just a few examples of how the Foundation promotes interaction between the Coast Guard and our “Designated Coast Guard Community.
Since 2015, the Cape May County Coast Guard Community Foundation has been a dedicated, independent nonprofit focused on building strong connections between the United States Coast Guard and our local community. We offer support through advocacy, engaging programs, and meaningful events, always standing with those who serve.
We rely entirely on the generosity of individuals, businesses, and organizations who believe in supporting our Coast Guard members, their families and Recruits. As a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit, every contribution helps us remain “Always Ready” to serve those who protect us.
How does your Partnership impact our community?
Let us count the ways…
- Advocacy
- Programs providing financial support
- Events promoting engagement within our community
- Partnerships with organizations who share the common goal of paying it forward to those who serve…
