Goals, Objectives and Policies
The goal of GDF is to help support active duty military and family, student related ROTC/JROTC and other units, and individuals and veterans needing special assistance in the area, including other non-profit organizations (e.g. Honor Flight, USO, etc.). GDF endeavors to distribute all funds raised each year to organizations and individuals which merit such support. A modest reserve is kept annually, for funding to begin the following year. The GDF program is administered through a President, appointed annually by the MOAACC, Inc. Board of Directors, consistent with Federal and State law. All GDF Board of Directors are unpaid volunteers to ensure nearly all of the donated funds go toward their intended recipients.
