Minnesota Military Family Foundation The Minnesota Military Family Foundation is a community-supported fund founded in November 2004. Contributions are made by people who understand that there are many sacrifices that military families make and want to help soften the extraordinary financial hardships that may occur when a family member is deployed by providing a financial safety net. The men and women that serve in our military have a clear sense of purpose and that is to protect American citizens and to proactively pursue people who have attacked or plan to attack America and Americans. Contributing to the Minnesota Military Family Foundation is how many of your fellow Minnesotans show their thanks and support to our deployed troops and their families. The Minnesota Military Family Foundation is an all volunteer board with zero overhead. The Minnesota Military Family Foundation distributes money through grants loans to Minnesota Military Families of deployed soldiers that need a little help.

The FAC and Chaplains communicate with the MMFF and provide details of the financial need and direct requests to the Foundation.
