Polaris Council

Ensuring CGMA’s Long-Term Success

The Polaris Council recognizes those who have made a commitment to CGMA through their will, a trust, a beneficiary designation, or other type of deferred gift. Polaris is the anchor of the northern sky, serving to guide and lead toward a purposeful destination. In the same way, members of the Polaris Council serve as beacon of inspiration and hope for future generations of Coast Guard members.

As a member of the Polaris Council you will receive:

  • Recognition, except where anonymity is requested.
  • Invitations to special events hosted by CGMA.
  • Updates about the work of CGMA via our newsletter.
  • The joy and reassurance of knowing your gift will make a lasting impact in the lives of Coast Guard members and their families.

Because all planned gifts represent an expression of confidence in CGMA, the Polaris Council has no minimum gift level and membership is for life. If you have made or are considering making a deferred gift to CGMA and are interested in discussing joining the Polaris Council, please contact us.
