The Elssy Fabela Foundation Inc

How to apply

This foundation reports that it accepts applications.

THE FOUNDATION PRIMARILY ACCEPTS REFERRALS FROM COMMUNITY LEADERS WHO KNOW OF DISADVANTAGED FAMILIES WHO MIGHT APPEAR TO NEED ASSISTANCE. THESE REFERRALS ARE THEN DIRECTED TO THE FOUNDATION CHAIRMAN AND THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR WHO FORMALLY SCREEN THE CANDIDATES IN SEVERAL WAYS. THE OBJECTIVE IS TO ASSIST DISADVANTAGED CHILDREN AND TEENS AND TO TRY TO ASSIST THEM TO COMPLETE THEIR EDUCATION AND BECOME PRODUCTIVE ADULTS IN THE COMMUNITY. AFTER A FAMILY IS REFERRED, IT MUST COMPLETE AN APPLICATION AND SUBMIT A FORMAL INTAKE FORM WITH ACCOMPANYING DOCUMENTATION SUCH AS W-2 FORMS, INCOME TAX FILINGS, PAYCHECK STUBS, INFORMATION ON SOCIAL SECURITY AND DISABILITY AWARDS, PUBLIC AID DOCUMENTS, AND LIVING EXPENSE INFORMATION. THE CHILDREN MUST PROVIDE GRADE REPORTS.

Restrictions: THE FAMILY MUST FIT THE POVERTY LEVEL GUIDELINES ESTABLISHED BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. IF THE FAMILY FALLS WITHIN THESE GUIDELINES, IT MAY QUALIFY FOR HELP. THE FOUNDATION WILL DO EVERYTHING WITHIN ITS POWER TO MAKE ALL MEMBERS OF THE FAMILY FEEL COMFORTABLE. EDUCATION IS PROVIDED ON MANY LEVELS TO HELP WITH THE FAMILY'S COMFORT LEVEL, INCLUDING LANGUAGE CLASSES. THE FAMILY MEMBERS MAY BE ASKED TO ASSIST THE FOUNDATION IN PROVIDING OTHER SERVICES TO OTHER FAMILIES IF THEY POSSESS A SKILL LEVEL WHICH MIGHT HELP THE FOUNDATION OR OTHER FAMILIES IN NEED.
