West Point Association of Graduates
Serving West Point & the Long Gray Line
About the Organization
The West Point Association of Graduates (WPAOG) is the alumni association and foundation for the U.S. Military Academy. By formal agreement with USMA, WPAOG is the primary private fundraising partner for West Point, raising support for the Academy's Margin of Excellence—the programs that go beyond federal funding and elevate every cadet's 47-month experience. Private gifts supply roughly 15% of Academy resources and fund cadet enrichment including AIADs and internships, clubs, research, and facilities. Over the last 20 years, WPAOG has delivered 50+ gift-funded buildings worth more than $250M. The West Point Ready campaign—a $600M comprehensive initiative—continues to advance modernization, cadet development, and competitive edge across the Academy.
