The Georgia National Guard Family Support Foundation, Inc. is a non-profit 501 (c) (3) corporation established in 1994 to provide emergency relief assistance during times of financial crisis to current members and families of the Georgia National Guard and full-time federal/state civilian employees of the Georgia Department of Defense living in the State of Georgia. Although not a military organization, the Foundation is recognized as an official support organization of the Georgia National Guard.

The Georgia National Guard Family Support Foundation has provided assistance to those in need. Here are just a few examples of how:

• When a single parent was out of work as a result of a car accident, we were able to help with rent and utility payments.
• After a soldier’s day-old baby died, we helped to pay the funeral expenses.
• When a soldier’s father passed away in Miami and he could not afford to travel, we paid his expenses.
• We helped to pay the food, rent and utility bills for a single parent who had to miss work to care for a sick child.
• We provided a grant to help a family get back on their feet after a house fire destroyed everything.
