On May 14,1990, the TREA
memorial Foundation was established as an affiliate of TREA, as a
charitable tax exempt program under Section 501(c) (3) of the Internal
Revenue Code. The Foundation was organized for charitable and
educational purposes, to receive and disburse donations through our
Direct Mail Program (Armed Forces Aide Campaign (AFAC)), wills, and
personal contributions. The mission of the Foundation is to support and
assist fellow veterans, active and retired, their families, military
widows and children as necessary to provide assistance during their time
of need.
The Memorial Foundation has the
following programs which provide assistance for veterans and their
families:
(1) Scholarships: Provides
educational assistance and opportunities to the children, grandchildren
and great grandchildren of TREA and TREA Auxiliary members.
(2) Benevolent Assistance:
Provides financial assistance to families of veterans who are faced with
adversity.
(3) Disaster Relief: Provides
assistance to victims of disasters who may be left homeless or in
financial despair as a result of natural disasters.
In January 2005, the Foundation
started a new program AFAC as a fund raiser in support of a military
person or their dependents in need of help as a result of the conflicts
in Iraq and Afghanistan since the beginning of the war in October 2001.
The Foundation may be able to
provide a variety of assistance including help with educational costs,
financial and/or medical assistance. Priority assistance will be given
to persons who are permanently disabled or handicapped as a result of
combat related activity and the families of those killed or missing in
action.
As your Chairman of the Memorial
Foundation you can be assured that the Trustees will carry out their
assigned mission through your generous donations. If you wish to make a
donation to the TREA Memorial Foundation, you may specify which program
you prefer. Or a bequest may be made in your will to the TREA Memorial
Foundation in your name specifying where your donation should be
applied. All other donations should be designated for charitable
programs. All donations are tax-deductible.
