Our funds
Emergency Hardship Fund
Support for individuals and families hit by a sudden medical emergency, injury, or family crisis — the moments when bills you never planned for arrive all at once.
Who should ask
Anyone facing a sudden medical emergency, injury, or family crisis can ask for help. You don't need to prove you deserve it — we ask what happened and how we can support you.
Not sure this is the right fund? Send one request and we'll determine the best form of support with you — see all four funds.
Request help
One short form, about ten minutes. Tell us who you are and what's happening.
We review
A staff member reads every request. If something is unclear, we'll reach out to you.
We contact you
A member of our professional staff will contact you by phone or email with next steps.
Keep this fund ready
Every gift helps the Foundation respond quickly when someone asks — here or through any of our four funds.
