HARDSHIP FUND

What is the Hardship fund?

 

The Hardship Fund was developed to help APA community members when facing a severe hardship. Funds in this account are distributed to APA community members as directed by the Foundation when they are notified of a critical need in the community. Needs may include costs for excessive medical care, funeral costs, or costs from other extreme situations.

The hope is that you will never need to request financial assistance, but the reality is that at some point you may. If you are in a position to help those in need please consider giving to the APEF Hardship Fund by clicking on “Lend a Hand” below.

If your family is experiencing a financial hardship, please apply for a grant to help you get through this hard time. Click on the “Hardship Fund Request” button below to access the application.

Hardship Fund Request lend a hand

“I was fortunate to receive some help back in the spring with the hardship fund from APEF. I had some unexpected emergency surgery that my insurance would not cover and I had no choice but to have the surgery. Having some extra money to put towards those expenses eased my mind and made me able to heal quicker. I am so thankful for those of you were so kind to donate funds to help others in a crisis. I will forever be thankful for your kind gesture.”

“The help that was offered to our family from American Prep Education Foundation last year during COVID was so helpful and very much appreciated. At that time we were worried about paying rent and didn’t know how we were going to come up with the money for that month. APEF helped us by sending us a check 1 week later. My husband and I were so surprised and relieved. Thank you APA!!!”
