WMA FUNDS
The WMA General Fund
The WMA General Fund supports the day-to-day operations of WMA. WMA is comprised of a dedicated volunteer force of Marines who strive to fulfill the purposes of WMA. Without operational support, our organization would cease to exist.
WMA Emergency Needs Fund
WMA Emergency Needs Fund currently offers grants to vetted applicants up to $1000 to assist Veterans in need. The need is always greater than the funding capacity. Donations will enable WMA to support veterans who served our country. This is open to all Veterans.
“I want to thank the Women Marines Association for helping us through a very difficult time. We are on the road to recovery and having the WMA support behind us to help assist our immediate needs has been incredible. We can now afford to stay in our home.’

The Memorial Scholarship Fund
The Memorial Scholarship Fund has grown from its inception in 1964 of two $500.00 scholarships to an average of 25 scholarships of $1,500 each (individual scholarships can be up to $5,000). The Memorial Donations program was established in 1975 and contributions are accepted in memory of a deceased WMA member, their families, or friends. Donations can be designated for the Memorial Scholarship Fund, National Headquarters Fund, WMA general funds or any of the other funds as listed
Major Megan M. McClung Memorial Scholarship
In 2008, the first Major Megan Malia McClung Memorial Scholarship was awarded to a college student by Megan’s parents, Drs. Re and Michael McClung and the Women Marines Association. A yearly scholarship has been given in Major McClung’s memory and honor since 2008. It is our hope to continue her legacy each year with the Major Megan M. McClung Memorial Scholarship.

WMA History Program
Donating to the Women of the Corps Collection (WOCC) is a crucial endeavor in preserving the rich and often overlooked history of Women Marines. The WOCC houses a unique collection of rare uniform items and artifacts that not only symbolize the courage and contributions of women in the Marine Corps but also serve as tangible reminders of their pivotal roles throughout history. By supporting this collection, donors play a vital role in ensuring that the stories and experiences of Women Marines are not lost to time. The WOCC becomes a living testament to the dedication, sacrifice, and resilience of these trailblazing individuals who have served their country with honor. Through donations, we not only honor the legacy of Women Marines but also inspire future generations by showcasing the diversity and strength that has defined the Marine Corps throughout its history.
Help WMA Rebuild Tun Tavern
The Women Marines Association is proud to partner with the Tun Tavern Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to rebuilding the legendary birthplace of the United States Marine Corps. Located in Philadelphia, the original Tun Tavern was where the first Marines were recruited in 1775. Now, the Foundation is working to bring this historic site back to life as a living tribute to Marine Corps heritage.
WMA believes in the power of legacy and we’re committed to helping restore this iconic landmark. With the help of our members, we aim to raise $10,000 toward the rebuilding effort. Every small donation counts, and WMA National will match all contributions up to $5,000 to help us reach our goal.
