Thank you for your questions and interest in the USS UNITED STATES. This foundation is a non-profit, tax exempt organization. In fact it is about to be renewed. Donations can be sent to USS UNITED STATES Foundation; 3415 Ocatillo Mesa Way, North Las Vegas, NV 89031. 100% of your donation goes directly into the Foundation. Not one cent goes into my pocket. It's been that way for over 30 years and will continue to be until at least she gets to sea; and even then, I may continue this tradition.
Project Old Waggon is estimated at $50 mil. with the ship and the construction of a 100'x300' fiberglass pier outside the gates of Ft. Mifflin in South Philadelphia. "The Fort That Saved America" and the Frigate USS UNITED STATES have historical ties. It truly is a worthy project and celebrates our Nation in its infantcy. In 1812 she took the frigate Macedonian on Oct. 25th and was the first ship of the United States Navy to bring an enemy warship to our Nation's soil as prize. Plank Owner Certificates are available for purchase suitable for framing; $25@3", $50@6", $75@9", and $100@12". Again, your donations are tax exempt and you will receive a letter in receipt of your donation. For questions contact Ed. at USSUNITEDSTATES@GMAIL.com Yahoo is no longer being used. Thank you for your kind comments.
