Temporary Financial Assistance (TFA)

The American Legion Temporary Financial Assistance (TFA) program in Reisterstown, MD, is dedicated to providing vital financial support to minor children of active duty service members and American Legion members. We understand that families may face sudden hardships, and our mission is to help create a more stable environment for children during these times of need. TFA offers cash grants of up to $1,500 to assist with essential expenses such as shelter, food, utilities, and health care costs. Our grants are designed to be a non-repayable resource, ensuring support when families need it the most. Eligibility requires a thorough local investigation to confirm genuine family needs and the prior exhaustion of all other assistance options. We welcome applications from families at the local level, fostering a strong community commitment to caring for our servicemen and women’s children.
