The Naval Academy Athletic Association is a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization charged with providing resources to support the varsity and junior varsity programs offered by the Naval Academy. The NAAA operates with the guidance of their Board of Control, whose members report to the Superintendent of the U.S. Naval Academy. More than 90% of funding support for NAAA programs is through external sources of revenue (e.g. Blue & Gold memberships, ticket sales, corporate sponsorship, television revenue, parking, etc.).

Less than 10% of the operating budget for varsity and junior varsity programs is provided by the Academy via government funding. Therefore, Blue & Gold memberships are critical to provide our teams with the supplemental dollars necessary to close the “resource gap” between the Naval Academy teams and our Division I competition. Private support is critical to NAAA’s success.
