What Charitable Causes Does MMOC Support?

The Municipal Motorcycle Officers of California (MMOC) directs its charitable giving primarily toward the "Every 15 Minutes" (E15M) campaign, which it runs in both Southern and Northern California. The organization raises funds through events across California and through online sales of MMOC collector items, then donates to schools participating in the program. If you want to see which schools have received donations, the MMOC website points visitors to a dedicated page for the E15M campaign.

What MMOC Is

MMOC is a non-profit corporation founded in 1928 whose stated goal is to promote traffic safety throughout California. Its membership is made up of law enforcement personnel, both active and retired, along with other professionals such as judges, district attorneys, chiefs of police, and sheriffs. The organization also draws supporters from the general public.

That structure matters for understanding its charitable work: the fundraising base is a mix of law enforcement professionals and outside supporters, and the cause it chooses reflects its traffic-safety mission.

The Main Charitable Focus: Every 15 Minutes

The "Every 15 Minutes" campaign is described by MMOC as its most recent charitable focus. Key points from the organization's own description:

• It operates in both Southern and Northern California.
• MMOC makes donations to schools in connection with the campaign.
• The website provides a way to see which schools have received donations, linked from the E15M section.

Why this cause fits MMOC

E15M is a traffic-safety-oriented program aimed at students, which aligns directly with MMOC's stated purpose of promoting traffic safety statewide. For a visitor trying to judge where MMOC's money goes, the pattern is: fundraising events plus collector-item sales in, school donations out.

How MMOC Raises the Money

According to the site, MMOC funds its goal through two channels:

The site does not publish a breakdown of how much is raised or what percentage goes to donations, so those figures cannot be confirmed from the available material.

Other Things MMOC Is Involved In

Beyond the E15M donations, the site highlights several activities that are part of the organization's public presence rather than its charitable giving:

• MMOC Honor Guard — a ceremonial unit associated with the organization.
• "The Flying Cross" — featured content on the site.
• Photo gallery and calendar of events — ongoing organizational activity.
• 96th Annual Convention, scheduled for 20–24 September 2026 at Cliff's Hotel and Spa in Pismo Beach, CA.

These are worth knowing because they show where member and supporter activity is concentrated, but they are not described as charitable causes.

How to Verify the Donation Recipients

If your reason for asking is to confirm whether a particular school received support, the site's own instruction is to use the E15M link to view the schools MMOC has donated to. That page is the authoritative list; third-party summaries may be out of date.
