Support NAMMA: Make a Donation

Help Us Strengthen Seafarers’ Welfare

Every day, seafarers arrive in ports throughout North America and the Caribbean, often far from their families, communities, and the support systems they depend upon. Seafarers’ ministries provide a welcoming presence, practical assistance, transportation, hospitality, spiritual care, and personal support to the men and women who keep global trade moving.

The North American Maritime Ministry Association (NAMMA) strengthens this important work by supporting the chaplains, volunteers, and organizations that serve seafarers.

Since 1932, NAMMA has brought together maritime ministries across North America, providing opportunities for education, professional development, fellowship, and advocacy. Through training programs, conferences, research, and practical resources, we help those who care for seafarers carry out their work more effectively.

Your donation helps us strengthen the network of people and organizations serving seafarers every day.
