Temporary Financial Assistance (TFA)

The American Legion's Temporary Financial Assistance (TFA) program is dedicated to providing vital cash grants to the minor children of current active duty military personnel and American Legion members in Sykesville, MD. Our mission is to ensure that families facing financial challenges can maintain a stable and supportive environment for their children. The TFA program offers single, one-time, non-repayable assistance of up to $1,500 to help cover essential needs such as shelter, food, utilities, and health expenses. To qualify, a thorough investigation at the post or department level is conducted to assess legitimate family needs after all other assistance options have been explored. We are committed to helping those who have served by supporting their families during times of need, ensuring that no child remains without the necessary resources for a dignified life.
