Our Military Kids (www.ourmilitarykids.org) wants to help your family through this deployment. If you have a child ages 3 to 18 whose parent is currently deployed overseas with the National Guard or Reserves, your child is eligible for a grant. The grants, which can be up to $500, will pay for up to six months of an extracurricular activity of your choice.
The process is simple. Visit our website and select the appropriate one-page application http://www.ourmilitarykids.org/how-to-apply/apply-now.php> . Once you download and complete the application, send it to us along with copies of three supporting documents:
1) A copy of the Title 10 deployment orders;
2) A form of ID for your child that proves dependency to the service member – we accept a Military ID, birth certificate, or 1172 DEERS form;
3) Contact and fee information for the activity of your choice – a flyer, brochure, etc.
Once we receive your application and documents, a check is sent within 10-14 days directly to the service provider of the activity.
If you have any questions, please visit our FAQ page http://www.ourmilitarykids.org/how-to-apply/faqs.php> . If you don’t see an answer to your question, call our office at (703) 734-6654. Keep in mind – we can only provide grants to children with a parent who is currently deployed – if your service member has yet to deploy, or has already returned home, the child is not eligible.
Our Military Kids looks forward to recognizing our littlest warriors for their service to our country!
