For Us All: The Campaign for West Point will ensure that the Academy has the resources available to fully prepare the next generation of leaders for the Army and the Nation.
The West Point Superintendent and other Academy leaders have determined what areas of support are needed for preparing ethical and agile leaders of character and will best complement the core mission of the Academy. With your help, West Point cadets – those on whom we will all rely to defend democracy everywhere—will have everything they need to succeed and serve with honor in an uncertain and volatile world.
Each year approximately 10% of the resources available to the Academy comes from private funding. Federal dollars fund 90% of West Point's budget, to include Margin of Excellence programs when available. However, in an era of reduced funding across the board, it is no longer possible to grow the Margin of Excellence needed to attract, yet alone develop, the caliber of people we expect to lead our Armed Services. Already the Academy has experienced a cut of 10-20% in operating dollars, some of which went to support Margin of Excellence programs. Future federal funding deficits will affect the core and, in turn, Margin of Excellence opportunities will be significantly diminished.
Show your support with a tax deductible gift and support West Point and it's future leaders.
