Our Military Kids Grant Program

Military families with a service member in the National Guard, the Reserve, or recovering from combat injuries are often not near a military installation limiting access to support services. During deployments, these families may lose income when their military member is mobilized for duty, temporarily leaving their civilian job to serve our country. The lack of resources and loss of income is the same for combat injured Veterans in treatment and creates gaps that are hard on families. Our Military Kids fills these gaps with an impactful grant program that covers the cost of
their children’s extracurricular activities.
