Grant Guidelines

• Grant requests are accepted from, or on behalf of, individuals diagnosed with lupus who live within the greater New York City area.
• Applicants must offer satisfactory evidence that lupus has been medically diagnosed. Evidence provided must include a doctor’s verification (a medical release form).
• Applicants must demonstrate a significant financial need and show how the grant will either meet the need in full or supplement other resources.
• Emergency Grants are paid by check directly to the agency or provider.
