The State Guard Association of Mississippi, Inc. (SGAMS) is a 501(c)(3) dedicated to supporting the Mississippi State Guard, by providing resources and equipment to enhance the operational readiness of the State Guard.
The State Guard Association of Mississippi was formed in June of 2023 and is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to providing funding and support to the members of the Mississippi State Guard. It is comprised of active MSSG members and in turn elect representatives to the board of directors. Those representatives are charged with distributing collected dues and donated funds to offset any operational and support needs of the soldiers and the MSSG.
To date SGAMS has purchased a new ID machine and software so that the MSSG members may possess a high-quality identification card. New recruits/members of the MSSG will receive their first ID at no cost. The new ID capability will also allow honorably retired MSSG members to receive a retired ID card in appreciation of their dedication to service. Thru donations and company support, all and retired members will be able to receive a new ID at no cost.
SGAMS is currently working to gain membership, corporate support and donations. Be a part of our future by becoming a member, a partner or by donating to our non-profit. You will be supporting YOUR Mississippi State Guard, the volunteer citizen soldiers of the MSSG and in turn the Great State of Mississippi.
We partner with companies that are committed to hiring veterans and offer job training and placement services to help you find the right job after your military service.
Please consider donation to our association. Your donations will greatly impact the MSSG troops, mission and readiness.
