Donate to USARA
The U.S. Army Ranger Association, Inc., (USARA), is a Georgia Corporation organized, for tax purposes, as a Tax-Exempt Organization pursuant to the provisions of Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(19) specifically for Veterans' Organizations. Additionally, Internal Revenue Code Section IRC 170(c)(3) may provide an income tax deduction for donations/contributions to USARA due to the facts it is organized in the United States, and no part of its net earnings inures to the benefit of any private shareholder or individual. Accordingly, cash and appreciated assets such as stocks, bonds, airplanes etc. contributions to the USARA are deductible by the donor based upon the assets' market value on the date of the contribution or gift. Many donors choose to contribute appreciated assets since it avoids the tax on the capital gain while giving the donor the tax benefit of the fair market value of the donated asset. Receipts for donations will be sent for all individual donations more than $100. Please consult with your personal tax advisor to verify any applicable deduction.
USARA supports many Ranger community causes such as the:
· National Ranger Foundation and Ranger Monument
· Ranger Hall of Fame
· Best Ranger Competition
We present various awards to the:
· 75th Ranger Regiment Soldier, NCO, and Officer of the Year
· Airborne & Ranger Training Brigade Soldier, NCO, and Officer of the Year
We participate in many Ranger and Special Operations causes as situations are presented.
USARA maintains dedicated, proprietary programs including:
-
USARA Ranger Assistance Program which has been established to support emergency financial needs of our members or spouses of deceased members and other Rangers;
- USARA Michael B. Ranger Legacy Scholarship Program which provides annual competitive monetary awards to dependents of our members to defray educational/training costs;
- USARA Events and Activities Fund which provides financial support for regional and local events -- whether organized by USARA or by others -- that are intended to provide networking opportunities and camaraderie to members of the Ranger community.
