Sister Tribe Community Fund

We want to create a Community Fund for our local residents.

A fund that can offer urgent support with awards of $500 or more to help local residents in crisis. The fund will address much needed short-term, stop gap assistance that can be provided quickly. The Sister Tribe by the Seaside Foundation is #TrulyLocal. We are all residents of Nassau County so we can vet and process requests quicker than large non-profits.

Local residents of Nassau County that have experienced tragedy in some form such as accidents, loss of a home, family member, or other critical situations. In some cases STS may be aware of the need and offer assistance directly and in other cases the requests for help can be applied for online through a form that will be on our website once the fund is established.

Why do we need a Community Fund?

Many of our local residents do not qualify or receive the assistance they need because they are independent contractors, the processing time for other non-profits is too long, or the applications are too complex to complete in time. STS wants to help fill the need so that all residents of Nassau County have access to assistance.
