Our Story
Our Story
The Michigan American Legion Foundation was created in 2014. Many companies and organizations do not recognize a 501 (c) 19 corporation which is what the American Legion is incorporated under. The foundation gives more options to donors and the department to fund the many programs the Legion supports.
