The following is a list of other organizations to which you can donate:

WP-ORG

WP-ORG is an independent volunteer organization completely separate from the United States Military Academy and its Association of Graduates (AOG), although it works very closely with both of them. It serves and supports approximately 29,000 members from the USMA class year groups, parents of current cadets and midshipmen, West Point societies and parent clubs as well as other special interest groups that are a part of their community. It is governed by a volunteer board of advisors. It runs more than 300 list-services in support of most USMA classes, 51 West Point Societies, and 41 West Point Parent Clubs. Two of the more active list-services WP-ORG supports include WP-Forum, a moderated list open to USMA grads of any year group and rank; and Parent Forum, a moderated list for USMA parents to learn about West Point and exchange information and questions with other parents. WP-ORG is also host to 30 cadet activity and sport list-services and provides a home for USNA parents and USNA Parent club sites. WP-ORG has developed the functionality to provide all 40,000 living West Point graduates with a Personal Homepage (PHP) that converts, upon the death of a graduate, to a Eulogy page for the gathering and display of testimonials and pictures from classmates, family and friends. The WP-ORG Job bank enjoys unbelievable success and enables graduates to hire graduates at ZERO cost. It supports online payment of dues for Societies and Parent Clubs and accepts tax free donations for operating costs. WEBSITE is http://www.west-point.org/

VIRTUAL WEST POINT

Virtual West Point exists "to bring the West Point experience and values alive through the Internet for the American public and the world." It is an IRS Approved Non-Profit Public Charity and depends on tax-deductible donations for funding. WEBSITE is http://www.virtualwp.org

ALUMNI SUPPORT PROGRAMS

ALUMNI SUPPORT PROGRAMS for both graduates and cadets, the Association of Graduates Information Systems, the Alumni Center, operating expenses for the AOG, and salaries and benefits for the staff (except for the Office of Development at this time) are funded primarily from the investment income from the Long Gray Line Endowment Fund. Royalties are received for the affinity programs provided by the AOG. The royalties plus profits from the AOG gift shop and from the ASSEMBLY and the Register of Graduates helps, but cannot provide the difference.
