Select a question to reveal the answer.

Is my personal information kept confidential?

Yes. Absolutely. All personal information is kept strictly confidential. Any social media posts or fundraisers connected to your case will not include any identifying information.

Who qualifies for assistance?

We serve women and families from marginalized communities facing housing insecurity, food insecurity, domestic violence, and economic crisis. We review each application individually and match applicants to the most appropriate program.

How quickly can I receive help?

Emergency cases are typically reviewed and responded to within 24–72 hours. We understand that time matters.

Do I have to repay the assistance?

No. All support provided by the BFGM Foundation is a grant — not a loan. There is no repayment required.
