MVAF Application Webform

The Minnesota American Legion Foundation and the American Legion Department of Minnesota care deeply about veterans. We want to help them when they or their families are in need. Many posts from across the state of Minnesota make donations to the foundation to ensure the Minnesota Veterans Assistance Fund is there to help struggling veterans and their families.

NOTE: MVAF applications are made by members at the post level wanting to assist a veteran in their area. The veteran in need does not fill this out. The web-form below is one option. (If you prefer, download the PDF here, print it, fill it out, mail it to Minnesota Veterans Assistance Fund, 20 W. 12th St. Room 300A, St. Paul, MN 55155-2000.)
