Help Us Build MSFA’s Emergency Assistance Fund

Living with a chronic illness can create financial challenges that extend far beyond medical care. Reduced work hours, job loss, transportation needs, utility expenses, and other unexpected costs can quickly place an individual or family in financial distress.

MS Funding Alliance is raising $5,000 to help fund the launch of our Emergency Assistance Program for eligible individuals and families living with chronic illness throughout the United States.

What Could $5,000 Help Accomplish?

Our initial fundraising goal could support up to 20 one-time emergency assistance awards of as much as $250 each.

Emergency assistance may help approved recipients address urgent needs such as:

• Household utility expenses
• Essential transportation costs
• Medical-related expenses
• Other qualifying essential household costs

The final number and amount of awards will depend on net funds available, each applicant’s verified need, eligibility requirements, supporting documentation, and approved program guidelines.

Every Contribution Moves Us Closer

• $10 helps build the Emergency Assistance Fund
• $25 provides 10% of one potential emergency award
• $50 provides 20% of one potential emergency award
• $100 provides 40% of one potential emergency award
• $125 could fund half of one potential emergency award
• $250 could fund one potential emergency assistance award in full

Applications Are Not Currently Open

MSFA must first raise the funding needed and complete the program’s application and review process. Applications are not currently being accepted.

When applications open, there will be no fee to apply. Assistance will be subject to available funding, eligibility requirements, verification, supporting documentation, and final approval. Applying will not guarantee financial assistance.

Our Fundraising Goal

Our goal is to raise $5,000 by December 31, 2026. Net proceeds from this campaign will support MSFA’s Emergency Assistance Program.

Every donation—regardless of size—brings us closer to helping individuals and families living with chronic illness navigate an urgent financial need.

If you are unable to donate, sharing this campaign can still make a meaningful difference.

Together, we can help ensure that no chronic illness warrior has to face a financial emergency alone.

MS Funding Alliance is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Contributions are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law.
