Family Emergency Fund
The Rally Family Emergency Fund has been renewed for the 2012-2013 fiscal year starting on April 1, 2012. Please let us know if you have any questions. Thank you!
At Rally, we recognize the financial struggles that can face a family when a child is diagnosed with cancer. The Rally Family Emergency Fund was created to help families in need fill that gap.
Guidelines for Applying:
The Patient must:
- Be currently receiving treatment for a cancer-related diagnosis or side effects from cancer treatment.
- Not be over 21 years old.
- Submit completed application through hospital representative (i.e. social worker, nurse, or doctor who is involved in patient’s treatment).
- Only apply for support once per calendar year.
The Hospital Representative must:
- Apply on behalf of the family.
- Complete all sections of the form truthfully. Any false, incomplete, or misleading information will result in automatic request denial.
- Exhaust other available funds for the family to receive financial assistance.
Funding Specifics:
- Support for one patient has an annual (12 month calendar year) cap of $500 and a lifetime cap of $750.
- Funds will be used to cover patient’s cancer related medical bills or other family costs related to treatment (i.e.: utilities, mortgage, rent, transitional housing, etc.).
- The Rally Family Emergency Fund is a grant with limited funds. Once these funds are exhausted, it is expected that they will be renewed the next grant cycle.
To Apply:
Applications can only be received from a hospital representative applying on behalf of a family. Rally’s Family Emergency Fund Application is available for the hospital representative by CLICKING HERE.
