Minnesota Military Family Foundation
The Minnesota Military Family Foundation is a community-supported fund founded in November 2004. Contributions are made by people who understand that there are many sacrifices that military families make and want to help soften the extraordinary financial hardships that may occur when a family member is deployed by providing a financial safety net.
The men and women that serve in our military have a clear sense of purpose and that is to protect American citizens and to proactively pursue people who have attacked or plan to attack America and Americans. Contributing to the Minnesota Military Family Foundation is how many of your fellow Minnesotans show their thanks and support to our deployed troops and their families. The Minnesota Military Family Foundation is an all volunteer board with zero overhead.
The Minnesota Military Family Foundation distributes money through grants loans to Minnesota Military Families of deployed soldiers that need a little help. To read testimonials from retired military personnel and families, click here.

Egan makes generous donation to Minnesota Military Family Foundation
Brooklyn Park, Minn.—Brig. Gen. Jon Trost accepted a donation on behalf of the Minnesota Military Family Foundation from Egan Companies Jan. 23 at Egan Companies Headquarters in Brooklyn Park, Minn. Employees of Egan pooled money donations together over the holiday season and researched the best way to contribute the money. After accumulating a total of $7,500, the Egan Companies employees agreed the Minnesota Military Family Foundation would be the best allocation of the money. "We thought, given the state of the country—with the war going on, this would be a worthwhile cause to give to," said Bill John, a director with Egan. The donation comes at a time when the Minnesota National Guard's 1st Brigade Combat Team, 34th Infantry Division's tour of duty in Iraq was recently extended for a period of four extra months 'boots on the ground.' "It's in the philanthropic endeavors of the Egan Companies and their desire to support the Minnesota National Guard Soldiers and Airmen, and also all the other branches in Minnesota, which the foundation supports," said Brig. Gen. Jon Trost. The Minnesota Military Family Foundation is a fund that assists military families in Minnesota who have encountered financial hardships due to a deployment of a main provider in the home. Egan Companies is a Minnesota-based contracting company that specializes in construction projects for company facilities. By Cpl. Joe Roos, Minnesota National Guard Public Affairs 1/23/07
