COVID-19 Crises Grant Guidelines
In the coming weeks we will be instituting our COVID response global policy across our MLBA countries based upon need and government assistance available. We will be focused on making sure that people get the help they need for essentials in the following categories:
- Homelessness – rent, water, electric, gas (No cable or internet)
- Medical – medical visits, medication
- Basic necessities – groceries, sanitary supplies, diapers and formula
- Loss of loved one – funeral expenses
Please check back to see when this assistance is available for your area. In the meantime, MLBA is business as usual at this time and still issuing qualified grants that addresses specific needs. Please see the regular grant application guidelines found here.
