The Georgia National Guard Family Support Foundation, Inc. is a non-profit 501 (c) (3) charitable corporation established in 1994 for the primary purpose of providing assistance on an emergency relief basis to soldiers and airmen serving in the Georgia National Guard and other qualified military members living in the State of Georgia. The Foundation, although not a military organization, is recognized as an official support organization of the Georgia National Guard.

The Foundation is one of eight “check-off” charities approved by the Legislature for individual tax-deductible donations when filing State of Georgia Income Tax Returns. We have received $ 586,781.00 from the Department of Revenue from 2005-2010 tax returns. In addition, we are a participating charity for the United Way Combined Federal Campaign (CFC agency code # 70602) and the State Charitable Contribution Program (SCCP agency code # 177000). Throughout the State, we have been designated as the beneficiary of grass roots campaigns such as the Top Gun Motorcycle Ride for Children, the Some Gave All 5K in Memory of Major Kevin Jenrette, the Savannah Memorial Day Festival, the Kangaroo Express “Salute Our Troops” Campaign, golf tournaments, car wash programs and more!

As a result of contributions, both large and small, the Foundation has provided over $ 1,541,590.00 in emergency relief assistance to more than 1,790 Georgia National Guard members and their families as of December 2011. Examples of assistance include payments to avoid eviction, foreclosure, utilities disconnection and repossession of vehicles as many emergencies are based on job loss. We have helped victims of house and apartment fires, tornados, floods and other disasters. Emergency travel and funeral expenses, as well as assistance to Guard members injured during deployment and training, temporary pay problems and more are examples of the multiple requests for assistance that we receive each week.

We need your help to do more.
