Grant Types and Eligibility Guidelines
LIMITATIONS
Needs & Wishes cannot ever help persons with expenses that fall into one or more of the following categories:
- Expenses we are not permitted by law to pay.
- Expenses that we cannot pay directly to the creditor or that could be returned as cash back to an applicant.
- Expenses related to credit card debt, bankruptcy, or luxury items.
This would include federal, state, or local tax payments; child support, legal fees associated from a criminal/civil defense. (For example, we cannot pay your property tax, traffic tickets or lawyer’s fees)
Needs & Wishes' policies do not allow sending cash directly to an applicant. For example, we are unable to pay for groceries, rent to a family member, security deposits as these can be returned for cash to the applicant.
Needs & Wishes believes in order to help the community the best way, our giving should be responsible. Therefore we do not help pay for credit card bills, vacation trips or bankruptcies, etc.
