Temporary Financial Assistance (TFA)

The American Legion's Temporary Financial Assistance (TFA) program in Severn, MD, provides crucial cash grants to support minor children of active duty service members and American Legion members. Our mission is to help families navigate challenging times by offering financial aid that contributes to a stable and nurturing environment for their children. Eligible families can receive a one-time, non-repayable grant of up to $1,500 to assist with essential needs such as shelter, food, utilities, and health expenses. We conduct thorough investigations at the local post or department level to ensure that genuine family needs are met and that all other resources have been exhausted before granting assistance. TFA is dedicated to making a lasting difference in the lives of those we serve, fostering a supportive community for our young dependents.
