Please review the information sheet and the grant guidelines at the beginning of the application before completing the application. Please answer EACH question with current information, even when renewing.
There are different applications for renewal requests (for families who have received grants from the RFC in the past), for new families (for those who have not yet received RFC support for any children in the family) and for a new child (for children born or adopted into a family which has received support from the RFC for other children from the RFC). In addition, all requests for a computer must include the Computer Request Form, available below. Attica Fund Prison Visit applications must be accompanied by a regular application.
In special cases a Group Grant may be requested. A Group Grant application should be used if you wish to apply on behalf of a group of young people (if anonymity is required for personal safety) who meet our granting guidelines or if you wish to apply for a group focused on of serving the educational and emotional needs of children in a community that has experienced pervasive repression in response to the community’s resistance to oppression. To request a Group Grant application please contact the Granting Coordinator, Victoria Montemurro, at granting@rfc.org or (413) 529-0063.
