Sigma Alpha Omega® Foundation Emergency Relief Fund
This is an application to receive financial assistance from the Sigma Alpha Omega® Foundation's Emergency Relief Fund.

The Emergency Relief Fund (ERF) is for sisters of the Sigma Alpha Omega® Christian Sorority. Sisters who are experiencing financial hardship due to emergencies are welcome and encouraged to apply, and the funds in the ERF are donations specifically for emergency assistance. This fund is separated from other financial accounts in our organization, and money in the ERF will never be used for any other expenses.

Applications for the ERF should be made after exhausting all other forms of assistance. If you haven't done this, and don't know where to look, reach out to your local social service agencies for things like unemployment assistance, Section 8 housing vouchers, SNAP benefits, Medicaid, etc. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there are many options for assistance with rent, utilities, Medicaid, and others. 

Examples of Emergencies (not exhaustive, exceptions could be made):
-Death of a loved one (immediate relatives: parents, siblings, children, spouses, grandparents) (ex: travel expenses for bereavement/funeral, funeral expenses)
-Emergency medical needs (ex: car accident, emergency surgery, medications)
-Natural disaster (ex: replacement of furniture, evacuation expenses)
-Fire (ex: emergency housing expenses, replacement of furniture)
-Theft/crime (ex: replacement of stolen items, new locks)
-***Potentially**** Loss of Income (ex: rent, necessary utilities)

Examples of Non-emergencies/Things Not Covered:
-SAO Dues
-Loss of Income due to quitting
-Tuition, Books, etc.
-Debt
-Tickets/fines
-Entertainment/recreational activities

If you have supporting documentation to provide (utility bills, medical bills, rental agreement for rent amount, etc.) please email them as an attachment to engagement@sistersbygrace.org with your name and ERF in the subject title. Any questions or concerns can also be sent to engagement@sistersbygrace.org or included at the bottom of this form.
