The Auxiliary National Board has allowed AuxA to manage all fiscal matters and fundraising efforts to support Auxiliary activities not funded by the Coast Guard. The AuxA is a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation under the laws of the District of Columbia. As an organization, it receives no federal government appropriation funds. The Association’s resources are augmented through revenues, grants, gifts, and donations received from outside sources, both public and private.

NEXCOM's Funding Priorities Include
- Supporting the growth or adoption of projects that have been demonstrated to be effective.
- Providing opportunities to expand training opportunities needed to increase qualification attainment
- Projects that span multiple units and demonstrate strong and healthy partnerships between units are encouraged.
General Information
- AuxA staff will review all requests prior to submission to the NEXCOM for approval, and may reach out for more detailed information, please ensure your POC is aware there may be contact from the AuxA staff.
- A specific bid or estimate is not required for submission or approval. Units will not normally receive a secondary grant for the same project or purchase, an accurate and large request is more important than a small and inaccurate request.
- Funds not spent for the project must be returned to the AuxA, with the exception of funds amounts less than $50.
- Recipients agree to provide follow-up reporting and pictures if possible for sharing on the AUXA site and with other units seeking similar funding.
- Funds may be used for travel provided the member submits detailed receipts to the unit FN for review and audit.
