The North Dakota National Guard Foundation is a non-profit organization, which has no paid employees and hires no professional fundraisers. The Foundation depends entirely on volunteer help. Your gift will go directly to the Emergency Relief Fund or the North Dakota Tragedy Assistance Program (ND-TAPS) as specified, or if you prefer to donate to the General Fund, your donation will go where it's needed most. The Foundation has tax-exempt status granted under section 501(c)(3) "non-profit organizations" of the Internal Revenue Code.
The North Dakota National Guard Emergency Relief Fund (ERF) provides financial support in sudden and unforeseen emergency situations, such as natural disasters, accident, illness, fire or theft to the more than 4,300 North Dakota National Guard members and their Families during times of need.
The North Dakota National Guard Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (ND-TAPS) supports the national TAPS initiative and provides services to those who have lost a loved one serving in the Armed Forces. The funds are used to cover transportation costs for Families of Fallen Heroes to travel to Washington, D.C. to participate in the annual National TAPS program.
