Emergency Grants

Lupus LA offers financial help to people with lupus undergoing particularly trying times.

Grant Guidelines

• Grant requests are accepted from, or on behalf of, individuals diagnosed with lupus who live in the greater Los Angeles 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.
• Grants are limited to 2 per person in any 12-month period, with an annual total of no more than $500.
• Grants are not considered for funding when assistance from other sources (family, government, social agency, etc.) is deemed available.

The Lupus LA Emergency Grant Program is contingent upon availability of funds. Funding of a grant one year does not guarantee subsequent year funding.
