The Acts of Kindness Program of the Rotary Club of Salt Lake City accepts one time emergency fund applications on a monthly basis.
The application requires that the Indvidual have an advocate/caseworker who can assist the applicant in completing the form and collecting the necessary documentation for the committee to review.
The Acts of Kindness funds are to help individuals who are facing a one-time challenge where $500 would dramatically help set the client back on track to self-sufficiency. The challenges may include such things as utilities, medical expenses, clothing, food, car repairs, etc. Please seek funding elsewhere for rental assistance or any request that requires ongoing financial support.
