Foundation Playing a Role in Expanded Veteran Support
Many of you are aware that the AMAC Foundation has taken the
initiative to promote awareness of Veterans' issues, through posts on
our "News and Interesting Information"
[link removed]
blog page, inclusion of reference materials on our "Resources"
[link removed]
page, and our multiple seminars focused on Veterans' benefits (visit
our "Videos"
[link removed]
page to view our most recent seminar on this subject). Now, the
Foundation has joined with an AMAC and AMAC Action team to further the
AMAC goal of having a material impact on Veterans in need, while
expanding our national connectivity to Veterans and their lives and
families.
The Foundation's initial venture as part of this team is the creation
of a "clearinghouse" data base of reference sources for Veterans,
giving Veterans and their families a place to go when seeking to learn
about programs, resources, and information on a wide variety of
specific subjects. For example, links to programs dealing with
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorders, suicide prevention, and addiction
problems will be included, along with helpful information on housing
support, employment opportunities, financial planning, and the like.
Each of the entries in the file will include a direct web link to the
sponsoring organization, a telephone contact if available, and a brief
description of the source.
Compilation of the "clearinghouse" is underway and, so far, between
300 and 400 individual entries have been identified. When complete,
the full file will be housed on the Foundation's website for
availability to the general public. Watch the website for
announcements on this important and exciting venture!
"My heroes are those who risk their lives every day to protect our
world and make it a better place--police, firefighters, and members of
our armed forces."

Watch for Google Ads!
Ever notice the ads that pop up on your screen when you're doing a
Google search and wonder how they got there, especially since they're
related to the subject you just searched? Kind of eerie at times, but
there's logic behind how that happens. It's a product of Alphabet
Inc.'s (Google's parent company) revenue-producing mechanism wherein
other advertisers bid to display brief information about their
products and services, on the assumption that the person searching on
a particular term is logically a part of that advertiser's target
market.
Alphabet, a company with more than a dozen subsidiaries and a
trillion dollar market valuation, receives most of its revenue from
this Google Ads process, and for some time has been operating a
program titled "Google for Non Profits" through which grants are made
to eligible organizations to take advantage of the Google Ad process.
Our Foundation has elected to participate in this grant process, with
an intent to place ads that will enable us to expand awareness across
our national constituency, so keep an eye out for ads that will call
attention to our Social Security Advisory Service, our webinar and
seminar events, and the content of our various information websites.
The start-up phase of our Google for Non Profits/Google Ads project
began in mid-August, so we hope to be in full swing before the end of
September.

The COVID-19 pandemic and its restrictions continue to impact our
