National CommitteeLiaison to Child Welfare Foundation

We take action because helping children matters. It matters so much to American Legion Auxiliary members that since the American Legion Child Welfare Foundation's inception in 1954, we have contributed more than $9 million. We know our dollars count.

The Child Welfare Foundation provides grants to child-serving organizations that support everything from childhood disease education and prevention to resources and research for military families. And that is why we give year after year. The American Legion handles the majority of the administrative costs for the foundation, so every dollar collected is entered into the trust fund to be used for grants. We want every child to know that someone cares.
