Youth-serving nonprofits can apply for a CWF grant

American Legion Child Welfare Foundation (CWF) grant applications for 2023 are online at cwf-inc.org.

CWF accepts funding proposals from nonprofits for projects that contribute to the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual welfare of children. Grants are only given to entities that help U.S. children in a large geographic area; they are not awarded for day-to-day or special operating expenses.

To be considered for a CWF grant, applications must be received at American Legion National Headquarters no later than July 15, 2022.

Since 1955, the CWF has awarded $18 million in grants to youth-serving nonprofits. 

Reminder

American Legion departments, posts, detachments and squadrons that wish to donate and receive credit for the 2021-2022 CWF program year should ensure donations are received at National Headquarters no later than Tuesday, May 31. Online donations may be made at legion.org/donate.
