Neighbor Match Microgrant Application
Neighbor Match is a community-powered program that provides direct microgrants of up to $500 for individuals and families navigating disaster or crisis. It was created to fill the gap between urgent needs and long-term recovery, making it easier to ask for help, and just as easy for others to give it.
Although a microgrant cannot solve everything, we see it as a step in the right direction toward stability and recovery. A week of groceries, a utility bill, or transportation costs may seem small, but for someone trying to get back on their feet, that support can provide real relief and breathing room.
Every request is reviewed and verified before it is shared with potential donors. Short personal stories are made public so supporters understand the need and its impact, while all sensitive details remain private. This balance allows donors to give with confidence and recipients to ask with dignity.
We are transparent that not every request will be funded. Neighbor Match depends on available resources and the generosity of our community of givers. Our goal is to fulfill as many requests as possible while treating each one with care and honesty.
Neighbor Match is more than financial aid. It is a way to remind people recovering from crisis that they are not alone, and that even small acts of generosity can help move someone forward.
