The Board of Directors may grant additional grant disbursement based on additional needs by a veteran and his/her family.
Although the grant criteria does not cover non-Minnesota taxpayers in general, those non-residents from our neighboring states (i.e., IA, SD, ND, WI) that travel to Minnesota each month in order to be a drilling member of a MN unit, and then are deployed with that unit will be considered as qualifying candidates for the BMMHF grant.
No, there is not any immediate deadline. The Board of Directors reviews grant applications once a month.
BMMHF is current in processing all Grant Applications, and we are working on applications just received in the last 30 days. If you mailed your application and supporting documents to BMMHF prior to that and you have not heard from BMMHF, please fax a copy of your application and the supporting documents to 651-293-4400 to the attention of Tom McDonough (Grants Administrator) prior to calling BMMHF or sending in a duplicate copy.
BMMHF needs all application forms filled out completely and signed Grant Application form with the “remit to” address for every applicant. If you have a DD214 and it states Minnesota as your HOME OF RECORD and deployment to combat as stated in having received IMMINENT DANGER PAY, that is all we need to approve your application.
If it does not state Minnesota as your Home of Record, we need Service Deployment Orders that reflect your deployment with a Minnesota unit.
If it does not state Imminent Danger Pay, we need an LES that reflects Hostile Fire Pay.
