Overview
Mission
PURPOSE: Promote and educate the US people and government as to the services that American Merchant Mariners have provided to the nation in connection with the war efforts and preservation of national security and the value of maintaining and support a strong American Merchant Marine fleet. This is done by the publishment of a quarterly AMMV Magazine, an annual convention, recording the history of merchant mariners and honoring Merchant Marine veterans at parades, memorials and ceremonies.

Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 77% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
