Who You Can Help

Our ARK program helps active military members who need a loan up to $500 with a fee of $5.  You can help a service member avoid predatory payday lenders that charge high fees for loans.

Dream Makers is a program for active military members, military veterans and Department of Defense employees that provides a $5,000 grant to first-time homebuyers to help with their down payment.  You can help make a family's dream a reality with a home of their own. 

The Military Heroes Fund provides emergency financial assistance to military members who have served since 2001 in Iraq or Afghanistan.  Your donation can keep the electricity on in a family's home, make a car payment, or pay for childcare at a military hospital while a patient recovers.
