The Minuteman
Emergency Assistance Fund is funded totally by personal donations
collected through the Combined Federal Campaign or by direct
contributions. If you are looking for a worthwhile charity to donate to,
please consider it. Donations are tax-deductible. To make a donation,
contact the NGAW office; at 1-800-588-6420 or locally at (253) 584-5411.
The NGAW continues to administer the
Minuteman Emergency Assistance Fund. Last year we received 58 applications
for assistance. The Board of the Minuteman Fund approved 47 of these
applications with a total of $21,718.54 being granted.

To be considered for financial assistance
from the Minuteman Emergency Assistance Fund (MEAF):
1. The application form must be
completely filled out to be considered for an emergency grant. Be sure to
sign and date the application form.
2. In the explanation of your situation,
be as specific as possible. The review committee will only have your
application on which to base their decision, therefore take care in
preparing it. After the information provided is verified, a committee
composed of members of the Minuteman Emergency Assistance Fund Board of Directors will review
your application and make a decision that is final. Neither the NGAW nor
any of its Board Members are involved with the review process of your
application.
3. Once your application is received by
this office, the information will be verified as quickly as possible and
forward it on to the review committee. Ideally, this process will take no
more than a few working days, but may take a little longer depending on
the availability of the review committee. Once a decision has been made,
you will be notified of the decision. If you do not have a phone, you may
periodically call us to inquire as to the status of your application at 1-800-588-6420 or locally at (253) 584-5411. If you have a
phone, please do not make repeated phone calls checking on the status as you
will be called as soon as we receive an answer.
4. Wherever possible or applicable,
payments will be made directly to your creditors.
5. Keep in mind that this is a grant, and
does not need to be re-paid. However, at some future date if you would
like to make a donation to the fund so that other Guard members in need
have funds available, it would be greatly appreciated. We will also be
listed in the Combined Federal Campaign booklet for the upcoming campaign. Please
consider designating the MEAF fund to receive a portion of your pledges.
