Over the last 2+ years the National Mikey Powell Memorial Family Fund (NMPMFF) has lost 90+ (approx 59%) of our regular monthly donors! Thus will mean that the general support grants rounds will be less frequent during coming months. Can you help?


The National Memorial Family Fund is the first and only national resource of its kind specifically for those that are affected by abuse, neglect, deaths and killings in state custody.
