PLEASE Donate!

The Marine Corps Air Transport Association currently accepts donations for three different categories of funds.

  •   First is the General Fund which finances our websites, newsletters and member management and event registration software along with miscellaneous costs of printing and postage and helps fund our reunions.
  • The second fund is the Memorial Scholarship Fund which is set aside to provide academic scholarships to deserving MCATA members and their descendants for college tuition and books. For more information go to this link: 
  • The last donation category is the VMGR Memorial Dedication Fund. This category is dedicated to raise the funds to host a dignified dedication event for the families of the forty-three Marines memorialized on the VMGR Memorial Monument.

To allocate your donation to any of our fund categories, please indicate by selecting one of the options at the bottom of this page.

If you wish to dedicate your Memorial Scholarship donation to someone by name, please include the name in the comments section.
