Who’s Eligible

Grants are distributed based on a qualifying event and documented financial need. A qualifying event is the crisis you experience that creates a financial need in your life. IRS tax laws require that a grant recipient have an approved and documented qualifying event in order to keep grants tax-free for everyone.

To be eligible for a grant, an applicant must have an approved qualifying event and be either (a) an employee employed by Sevita or a partner organization for a minimum of six months, (b) a non-Mentor independent contractor with at least 300 hours of contracted billable time in the past six months or (c) a Mentor independent contractor with at least at least 90 contracted billable days in the past six months.
