Auxiliary is there when the chips are down
The AEF was established in 1969 and is a national grant program to provide temporary monetary assistance (up to $3,000) to eligible members who have endured significant financial setbacks because of an act of natural or personal crisis.
This is possible all by donations. Members helping members.
AEF funds may be awarded to members whose primary residence has been devastated by disaster, flood, tornadoes, fires, hurricanes, earthquakes or other catastrophic events.
Hardship grants may be awarded to members that have past/overdue expenses pertaining to their primary shelter and basic household utilities due to medical or employment reasons.
Eligibility requirements:
- Members who are current on dues and have been members for three (3) consecutive years.
- Cannot be used for medical expenses or debts from credit cards.
- Applicants for disaster assistance must apply within six (6) months from the disaster event.
- One grant (disaster or hardship) per grantee within a 12-month period.
- Must submit all qualifying documentation including pictures, invoices, bills, ECT.
- All applications must be submitted online at www.alaforveterans.org
