Unmet Needs


Unmet Needs Program (MAP)

With the help of corporate sponsors, the VFW Foundation receives funding to establish, administer and promote the Unmet Needs Program.

But these corporate gifts will fall short of military families’ critical needs, and the program will be mostly funded by individual donations from people like you.

Funds from donations are available to the five branches of service (Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines and Coast Guard), as well as members of the Reserves and National Guard. Funds awarded by the program are offered in the form of grants--not loans--so recipients don’t need to repay them. As they are typically less than $2,500, there is little chance that they will affect the recipient’s taxes.

For more information, call the VFW Department of Colorado Headquarters at (303) 421-1630.

Please e-mail completed forms to Colorado National Military Service Chairman John Holland at johnfatherusa@yahoo.com or to Department Headquarters at vfw@vfwcolodept.org or FAX to (303) 421-1727.
