Your Help Urgently Needed -- As our regular readers know, the Alliance is an all-volunteer organization. Membership to POW and MIA family members is free and we ask an optional $10.00 yearly donation from our non-family members. We depend on contributions to keep the organization going. Our regular readers also know we do not conduct fundraisers. We basically survive on unsolicited donations. Unfortunately, like everyone else, we have been hit by the tough economic times. So, for only the second time in our history, we must actively seek donations to keep the Alliance going.

The Alliance budget is approximately $12,000.00 - $15,000.00 per year. That's not a typo. We run a lean organization. Our major expenses are the annual forum, maintaining the website, telephone, copying, postage and miscellaneous office expenses.

Please consider a donation to the National Alliance of Families. A $5.00, $10.00 or $20.00 contribution would be greatly appreciated. If you can afford more that would wonderful.

Please allow us to continue assisting POW and MIA family members, veterans and concerned citizens by provided current as well as historical information on the POW/MIA issue. Allow us to continue our research providing general and case specific information to our POW and MIA families.

Donations may be mailed to:

National Alliance of Families P.O. Box 40327 Bellevue, WA. 98015

Remember contributions are tax deductable.
