Individual Requests for Support
We recognize that members of our community are facing urgent needs, and we are receiving an influx of requests for support.
We work through existing nonprofit partners and trusted community organizations that already have established service models to support families and individuals. We do not respond to individual requests or provide direct financial assistance. Instead, we focus on strengthening and resourcing organizations and community leaders who are already doing this work, helping ensure support reaches families through trusted and community-led channels.
If you are a community leader or organization with an existing model for supporting families and are interested in applying for support, please review our grant opportunities and reach out through our grant inquiry process.
For individuals and families seeking immediate support, we encourage you to connect with local trusted service providers who are equipped to help.
