Get the answers to the most popular questions our donors have about The American Legion.

Doesn’t The American Legion get funds from the federal government?
Contrary to popular belief, The American Legion receives no money or grants from the federal government. Our service programs are sustained by contributions such as yours.

Do Legion service programs overlap or duplicate government programs?
No. The American Legion programs pick up and fill the void left by government agencies. This is especially true given government budget cut-backs which have made the need greater over the past several years.

Is my donation tax-deductible?
Yes, American Legion Charities is a tax-exempt organization, and all contributions are tax-deductible according to IRS regulations.
