Those who do not have the time or desire to actively participate in the Auxiliary may elect to become Associate Members in the Association. Associate Members provide monetary contributions that qualify them for various categories of membership and benefits. The contributions they make are used to support the various Auxiliary programs.

You may also make a direct Donation to the Association to show your support for the volunteers of the Auxiliary and the vital missions they perform for their communities and nation.
