Eligible applications will be reviewed by AMFCF’s board of directors on a quarterly basis. After review of available funds and eligible applications, the board will select by majority vote the beneficiary children with the highest need for assistance weighed against all eligible applicants during the period of consideration.
- AMFCF hopes to serve up to 10 families, however, this is directly dependent on the number of corporate sponsorships and success of our fundraising.
- Additionally, 15% of AMFCF’s fundraising proceeds will be set aside in an emergency fund dedicated to providing immediate assistance to eligible children for time sensitive needs (i.e. funeral costs, medical expenses, childcare).
Eligible applications for emergency assistance will be reviewed as they are submitted and voted on remotely. The board’s selection will be honored by corporate resolution and will become effective upon written consent from an authorized representative of the beneficiary children.
- We will set up a phone call with your family to hear more about your story and financial needs.
- You can also choose to speak with a financial advisor, who has graciously donated his services to AMFCF. The introductory phone call with the financial advisor typically lasts less than an hour and is at no cost to you. By the end of the call, you and the advisor will determine your child's greatest financial need and report back to AMFCF.
AMFCF will disburse funds as determined by our director and the family. Funds will not be issued directly to your family via direct cash payments or checks. AMFCF will make payment directly to creditors, will provide gift cards or other accounts as necessary to provide goods to beneficiaries, or will place funds in a trust or other type of account (i.e. 529 College Savings Account).
No - To serve the most families possible, children will be ineligible for selection as an annual AMFCF beneficiary for a period of 5 years.
