Minuteman Relief Fund
Supporting families in crisis is not just compassionate—it’s mission readiness. Stable families strengthen focus, resilience, and retention. The Missouri National Guard lacks emergency relief capabilities available elsewhere (such as Army Emergency Relief). The Minuteman Relief Fund is our solution to build that support here at home.
Minuteman Relief Fund: Supporting Missouri National Guard Families
The Minuteman Relief Fund exists to help eligible service members and families through verified, unexpected financial hardship—quickly and with dignity. Right now we’re in the Growth Phase, focused on building principal. Our target is $250,000—a milestone that positions the fund to use dividend earnings to support relief assistance over time.

What relief can look like:
Examples of verified hardship situations may include:
• Emergency travel for a family crisis
• Medical gap expenses (co-pays, prescriptions)
• Rent/mortgage or utility shortfalls due to unexpected events
• Vehicle repair required to get to duty/work
• Other verified hardship situations
Assistance depends on: eligibility + verification + available funds.
