Fisher's Family Grants

Grant Requests Must Come From:

Single parent households raising at least one child, and must meet the guidelines for financial need. This grant is specifically for low and moderate-income families. Priority will be given to families with a household income under $25,000 (for a family of four) although in special circumstances families with higher income will be considered. There will be a cut off based on the Federal Government guidelines for low income:

  • $24,980 for a family of 2
  • $31,340 for a family of 3
  • $37,700 for a family of 4
  • $44,060 for a family of 5
  • $50,420 for a family of 6

Priority will be given to families not currently receiving funding and those who are most in need. We may not be able to meet all requests. Please do not apply if your family income exceeds the above guidelines.
