NOTES TO VALIDATORS AS YOU FILL OUT THE FORM:

So that GBW may support as many people as possible, we fulfill each individual's needs once per year.

Unfortunately, we are not a long-term solution for people in need.

Please Note: GBW will only fund requests for clients who live in the following zip codes: 03110, 03045, 03102 and 03070.

GBW prides itself on maintaining client confidentiality. For payment purposes, we do ask for identifying information (First name initial, last name and account number for accurate payment).

Funding is distributed directly to the vendor, and there is a $500 limit on each request.

For requests where funds cannot be paid to a vendor, the validator or its organization must purchase the approved items and submit the receipt to GBW for reimbursement.

We consider requests for funding that fit within our mission statement and definition of crisis, both posted below.

GBW is no longer funding car repairs.

Our Mission Statement:

GBW strives to provide immediate, short-term financial assistance to members of the local community in crisis,* recognizing other means of support may not be readily available. Further, we strive to periodically support existing or new programs that benefit at-risk populations in our service area that aim to avert crisis.

Our Definition of Crisis:

A sudden change that creates financial, social or emotional upheaval that needs urgent action to enable relief.
