Since its inception in 1925, the foundation has delivered over $30 million in financial assistance for disabled veterans, military families and young people who lost parents in service to our nation. Income from the foundation supports accredited American Legion service officers who assist, at no charge, all veterans in their applications for the government benefits and health care they earned through service in the U.S. Armed Forces. The foundation also funds The American Legion’s Temporary Financial Assistance program, which provides grants to military families with children at home who are facing urgent financial emergencies.
