Our Military Kids, Inc.

This organization is a great resource. It provides up to $500 every six months for each child (ages 3- 12th grade) of a deployed parent to participate in a single activity.

I applied for the grant for my daughter the day my husband left on his deployment. I received a letter telling me she had gotten the grant five days after I submitted it and the money was sent directly to her gymnastics provider.

All that is needed is to fill out the application and have the following:
     1. Copy of deployed soldier's orders
     2. Copy of One of the following:
            Child's Military ID card
            Form 1172 for Child
            Birth certificate of child if deployed is biological parent
    3. Documentation of the cost of activity
            Brochure
            Website
            Typed Letter from activity provider

The goal is to nuture and sustain Our Military Kids while they are separated from their parents.
