WELFARE REQUESTS
Please read the entire request form as RESA’s process for Welfare Grants has changed effective 01 November 2021.
After reading through the guidelines, submit your request at the link below.
*Note: Completing this grant application does not guarantee an award!
**Note: A request award from a previous year does not guarantee an award. Available funds, demonstration of need, volunteer and fundraising activities, and compliance with RESA regulations will impact a grant request.
Please read through our guidelines carefully, as we have made some important changes.
1. Requests CAN NOT be granted to individuals, only to organizations registered with your installation’s Private Organizations office (FSS or MWR). Please verify BEFORE submitting an application that your organization is registered, can receive funds, and has a bank account.
2. Please fill out the request form completely and email the item estimates/invoices to: resa.welfare@gmail.com within 24 hours of submission. Incomplete requests will NOT be considered.
3. Requests for events that have taken place prior to the date of submission may not be granted.
4. At LEAST 35 days must be given between the request and the date needed; This is to ensure that there is time enough to have your request considered by the appropriate groups- please see our Constitution and Bylaws for further details.
5. The RESA Board meets once a month to consider Welfare Requests, typically in the evening on the first Thursday of the month. Failure to give enough time for consideration may result in delay or denial of your request. Submit your request only once. Multiple submissions can cause delays in the request process.
6. All checks must be picked up from the Thrift Shop within 30 days of notification. Once that time has passed, all unclaimed checks will be voided and the request must be resubmitted to RESA. If a voided check instance occurs, the request is not guaranteed to be granted again; nor does it guarantee a denial.
7. All checks must be cashed/deposited by the receiving organization within ninety (90) days of the date written on the check. If ninety (90) days lapses and the funding is still required, a new request must be submitted to RESA. Resubmission does not guarantee acceptance or denial.
