The Foundation believes the adoption of this guidance had no material impact on the Foundations financial statements. true Association of the US Army 2425 Wilson Blvd Arlington VA 22201 530193361 501(c)(3) 7000 0 Membership Homes for Our Troops Corp 6 Main St Taunton MA 02780 542143612 501(c)(3) 10000 0 Supporting House Build University of Pennsylvania 34th Spruce Street Philadelphia PA 19104 231352685 501(c)(3) 11978 0 Payment for Sentinel University of Phoenix 4035 S Riverpoint Parkway Phoenix AZ 85040 942473210 8304 0 Payment for Sentinel 3 1 Housing Assistance 132 789894 Vehicle Expenses Assistance 1 1200 Living/Mentoring Support 34 68080 1825 Clothing, gift cards Graduation Grants 37 73500 Additional Supplemental Information Decisions to award Sentinels of Freedom Scholarships (grants/assistance) are made by the Board of Directors of the Foundation and are recorded in board meeting minutes. The Board deliberation in awarding a scholarship involves a review of the application and other input and a discussion of candidate interviews. While the decision to award a scholarship is recorded, the details of the deliberation are not. The amounts of the scholarships are needs-based, with the amount varying as needs arise over the life of the scholarship. Scholarship grants are normally paid by the Foundation directly to property owners, vendors or others supporting the Sentinels over the life of the Scholarship.
