The Maritime Foundation is managed by a seven-member board of directors comprised of
educators, business leaders, maritime industry leaders, and community leaders.  This
non-profit public charity is incorporated as a 501 (c)(3) entity, and receives donations from
individuals, maritime-related corporations, yacht clubs, and other businesses and
organizations on behalf of The Maritime Academy of Toledo.  By donating time, money,
equipment, or materials through The Maritime Foundation, donors receive legal federal tax
deductions and are guaranteed that their contributions are being made to legitimate programs.

The Maritime Foundation also seeks funding from outside sources such as local, state, and
federal grants and through professional mariner, recreational boater, and teacher training
courses, seminars, and workshops.

The Maritime Foundation Board appoints a CEO to oversee the day-to-day operations of the
organization and a CFO to manage the finances of the organization.  
Bi-monthly Board Meetings are held on the
Third Monday of the Month (February,
April, June, August, October, & December).  

The Annual Board of Directors Meeting is
held the Third Monday in April.
