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.
- All requests must keep recipient names anonymous.
- 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.
- GBW trusts that the validator will endorse one request per individual or family per year.
- 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.
