MATCHING FUNDS FOR WMA CHAPTERS

These are funds that WMA National has set aside to augment chapters’ efforts in their benevolent endeavors. They are not a reimbursement. Contact Matching Funds and Grants for information on this program.

Matching funds of up to $250 each year are requested by the chapter. Each chapter should have a copy of the form located in the “Chapter How To” manual. Letters are not acceptable, the form must be used. If the chapter is providing direct service to veterans, such as giving a party for them or making them comfortable in some way, it should send proof of having raised the necessary funds, possibly through receipts. Then the WMA will reimburse the chapter for not more than $250.
