    Established by the Commandant, the Association provides a high level of financial management for the Auxiliary. The Association runs the day to day financial business of the Auxiliary, engages in fund raising through its Board of Directors, and provides numerous products and services to Auxiliarists at reduced prices. All Auxiliarists are members of the Coast Guard Association, and can help keep the Auxiliary on solid financial ground by taking advantage of these goods and services.
