Your #GivingTuesday gift to the American Legion Auxiliary (ALA) Foundation directly impacts the lives of veterans and military families through two funds established by the ALA Foundation: the Veteran Projects Fund, and the Mission Endowment Fund.
The Veteran Projects Fund supports ALA projects that address the emergent needs of veterans. Renovation of a veterans homeless shelter, and the purchase of computer stations and laptops for veterans facilities, are a couple of the ways money from this fund has been used.
The Mission Endowment Fund uses the interest on donations paid into the fund to support ALA programs, ensuring that future generations will benefit from Auxiliary programs that support veterans and their families. Your donation today helps ensure we’re here to help veterans tomorrow!
Last year we raised $26,432 — and that’s before those donations were matched! Just on #GivingTuesday alone last year, there were 100 donations total with an average of $122.95 per donation. Together, we can surpass last year’s numbers and have more impact than ever before!
So mark Nov. 28th on your calendars as #GivingTuesday 2017… and don’t forget to give.
In the spirit of Service, Not Self, the mission of the American Legion Auxiliary is to support The American Legion and to honor the sacrifice of those who serve by enhancing the lives of our veterans, military, and their families, both at home and abroad. For God and Country, we advocate for veterans, educate our citizens, mentor youth, and promote patriotism, good citizenship, peace and security.
