Disaster Relief Fund

The Disaster Relief Fund is available for members affected by a natural disaster that results in loss of, or displacement from, their primary residence. The fund is activated following a 2/3 majority vote by the Board of Directors in the event of a natural disaster. Disasters may include but are not limited to wildfires, floods and tornados. When activated, members can access $500 for immediate relief to support unanticipated expenses related to evacuation or other consequences of displacement.

Please note: Members can only access the Disaster Relief Fund one time per activation period. If you have already received funds during a designated activation period, you are not eligible to be approved for additional Disaster Relief funds.
