Temporary Financial Assistance (TFA)

At the American Legion's Temporary Financial Assistance (TFA) program in Mount Airy, MD, we are dedicated to providing crucial support to families with minor children of active duty service members and American Legion members. Our mission is to help maintain stability in the lives of children by awarding one-time, non-repayable cash grants of up to $1,500. These funds can assist with essential needs such as shelter, food, utilities, and health expenses, ensuring that families can navigate challenging times without the burden of financial stress. Eligibility for TFA requires a thorough investigation to confirm legitimate family needs and the exhaustion of other resources. We encourage local applicants to reach out to their local post or department to begin the necessary application process, as we believe every child deserves a stable and supportive environment.
