New Non-Profit Corporation to Fund US Merchant Marine Academy Athletics.

This Act authorizes the Secretary of Transportation to establish a new 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation dedicated solely to supporting the athletic programs of the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy (USMMA). This structure allows for tax-deductible private donations and formalizes the use of licensing revenues (like logo usage) directly for sports and cadet recruitment efforts. For citizens, this provides a clear, tax-advantaged channel for supporting the Academy's athletic and educational mission.
