January 6, 2006 - Angel Mail Special
Broadcast - "Military Grant Series"
Dear friend of the Masonic Angel Fund,
We are happy to inform you that a very generous private foundation donor has
made a special grant to the Masonic Angel Foundation, Inc. to assist the
children of New England military personnel deployed in Iraq or Afghanistan.
This grant permits the Masonic Angel Fund community to provide basic assistance
to children in need whose parent is deployed in Iraq or Afghanistan. “Basic
assistance” means essentials such as clothing, food and holiday gifts. These
funds cannot be used for “extras” such as music lessons, camperships or after
school tuition.
Please note that one of the child’s parents must be deployed in Iraq or
Afghanistan. Deployments in other areas are not eligible for this special grant
program.
Funds in this series may be used for any child who meets the criteria above and
who lives in one of the New England states.
While USO/New England will be the primary delivery agency for this program, we
also recognize that there are several Masonic Angel Funds that enjoy direct
contact with military chaplains, family service staff or schools with large
military populations. Please let your school professionals and partners in the
military that you have the ability to provide necessary assistance should they
need it.
If your Masonic Angel Fund provides assistance to a child who meets all of the
criteria set forth by the donor, please notify the Foundation (info@masonicangelfund.org)
and we will arrange reimbursement to your MAF. If the benevolence is an
unusually large one, please check with the Foundation before you make the grant
to make sure that we still have funds available.
This is an ongoing program that will continue until the funds are expended.
Please feel free to email with your questions.
Cordially,
Robert W. Fellows, Co-Founder/Board Secretary
Masonic Angel Foundation, Inc.
