Total needed: $7.8M for Construction, $0.8M for STEM Education, and $500K for the Endowment. Significant funding is secured — we still need $1.3M for construction and $0.5M for the endowment.
These funds are being housed and managed by the Northern Cincinnati Foundation, a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, so all donations to the USS Cincinnati Memorial are tax deductible for Federal Income Tax in the year they are made.
Please consider the Construction Fund first — our top priority. There are special recognition levels and named sponsorship opportunities for larger donations. Reach out to discuss options personally.
If you are a member of one of the following groups — Submarine Veterans, Navy League, USNA Alumni, USNA Cincinnati, or USNA Class of 1970 — please link your donation to your group so it counts toward that group’s collective total.
Thank you in advance for your support.
Submarine Cincinnati Memorial Association (SCMA) is an Ohio 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation in Cincinnati, Ohio, organized and operated exclusively for charitable, educational, and scientific purposes. SCMA uses donations to commemorate the service of US Navy submarine USS Cincinnati (SSN-693); to preserve submarine artifacts as a monument for public display; and to provide education in history, science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and skilled trades. SCMA raises funds and receives contributions, grants, and services for those purposes. The IRS determined that SCMA is exempt from federal income taxation, so that donations to SCMA can be tax-deductible under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code to the extent allowed by the IRS under current tax laws. All donations to SCMA are made through its funding agent, the Northern Cincinnati Foundation, which also is a 501(c)(3) organization. Check with your tax advisor for any changes to tax laws.
