Temporary Financial Assistance (TFA)

The American Legion's Temporary Financial Assistance (TFA) program in Gwynn Oak, MD, provides essential cash grants to support the minor children of active duty service members and American Legion members in times of need. Aimed at fostering stability for families, TFA grants can be utilized for critical expenses such as shelter, food, utilities, and health care costs. Eligible families may receive a one-time, non-repayable grant of up to $1,500 for each qualifying child. To ensure a thorough and fair assessment, eligibility requires a complete investigation at the local post or department level to confirm legitimate needs after exhausting all other assistance options. The TFA application process is initiated by local representatives, making it a community-focused initiative dedicated to uplifting families in our veteran community.
