NEF application help. Financial grant assistance through the American Legion National Emergency Fund (NEF) is available for American Legion posts, and American Legion and Sons of The American Legion members impacted by declared natural disasters. As American Legion posts and departments assist those eligible with an NEF grant application, an audio PowerPoint has been created that shares what the NEF is, what it does and does not cover, the correct way to fill out an application, and eligibility. Watch and share the “National Emergency Fund Grant Application Procedures” PowerPoint at youtube.com/watch?v=aYTPVnmrsh0.
Veterans Day. A guideline speech for Veterans Day, Nov. 11, is available at www.legion.org/publications under Media & Communications for use during Veterans Day events.
