FOR IMMEDIATE DISSEMINATION
WCFA-COVID EMERGENCY RELIEF FUND GRANTS – PHASE 4
EANGUS and the We Care for America Foundation have received funding that will allow us to provide much needed assistance to National Guard Soldiers and Airmen who have been impacted financially by the COVID-19 Pandemic. We extend our sincere appreciation and gratitude to USAA for their continued support and this donation. This will be the final phase of grants distributed from these funds.
Like the COVID-19 Emergency Relief Funds that were distributed in May 2020 (Phase 1), November 2020 (Phase 2), and January 2021 (Phase 3), these funds will be available to current and former members of the National Guard, enlisted or officer, who demonstrate the loss of their primary income or employment, or a financial emergency directly related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Grants will be capped at $500. To assist as many National Guard members as possible, the fund can only support one emergency grant per household. National Guard members who received a grant in Phase 1, 2, or 3 are not eligible to receive another WCFA-COVID grant at this time.
The window to submit applications for Phase 4 of the
WCFA-COVID Emergency Relief Fund
is now open!
All applications will be reviewed but only 400 applications will be approved due to limited funding. We ask that applications be submitted by National Guard members who need assistance because of a COVID-19 related financial hardship.
The grant application process includes completion of a brief online application and submission of the WCFA-COVID Emergency Relief Fund Verification Form which must be completed and signed by the applicant’s Unit Commander, First Sergeant, Battalion CSM, CCM, or Family Programs Representative. A copy of the fillable Verification Form is attached, or applicants can download a copy of the form from our website. Please refer to the We Care for America website at www.eangus-wcfa.org for more information and to apply for assistance.
