Minnesotans' Military Appreciation Fund Revenue

About Minnesotans' Military Appreciation Fund

Minnesotans’ Military Appreciation Fund (MMAF) is a statewide fundraising initiative by the citizens of Minnesota for Minnesota military personnel and their families. Launched in August 2005, MMAF is a non-partisan, non-political, 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation. The mission of MMAF is to say “thanks” to Minnesota service members and their families who are making sacrifices in defense of our freedoms in combat zones around the world. MMAF provides cash grants to Minnesota service members who have served in a combat zone since September 11, 2001. Grant applications are available online at thankmntroops.org. There are three levels of grant awards: • $5,000 to the families of those Minnesotans killed in combat. • $2,000 – $10,000 for those Minnesotans who have received a Purple Heart Medal, with the amount based on severity of injury. • $500 to all Minnesotans who have served in a combat zone. Since our inception, our volunteers and service partnerships have made it possible for over 90 percent of donations to go directly to Minnesota service members in the form of grants. MMAF shows our troops how much we appreciate and respect their service to our country. The mission of MMAF will continue until all of our Minnesota troops come home.
