Apply Now for a Direct Aid Gift

Some details about our program before you apply: at the current time, our capacity is to provide two gifts of $150 each month. These are given on a FCFS basis after being reviewed by our steering committee, and applicants have 7 days to respond by email once a gift is offered. If you do not need that much, please let us know in your form so that we can pass the funds on. If we do not have further funds available during the month you are applying, you will be notified and encouraged to apply again during the next cycle. Cycles run from the 1st of the month to the last day of the month. Keep in mind our fund is growing but is still small - we hope to expand fund availability as our outreach and fundraising efforts expand.

In the event that, at the time of your application, we do not have further aid available for the month, you have the option to give us permission to fundraise on your behalf. Such fundraising might include providing general information about your story, without any identifying features included, and this info would be included with our monthly newsletter, ticket sales and social media marketing in order to solicit funds specifically for you. This is not a guarantee of funds, and it would not prevent you from applying for an aid gift in subsequent months.
