MS Funding Alliance – Frequently Asked Questions

1. Who Can Apply?

Anyone living in the U.S. with a chronic illness — including Multiple Sclerosis, Lupus, Diabetes, Cancer, or another long-term condition — is eligible to apply.
Our mission is to support those whose daily lives are impacted by their health journey and who may need a helping hand to stay afloat or move forward.

2. Do You Support Applicants Internationally?

Not yet.
Currently, our programs are limited to U.S. residents only due to funding and compliance regulations. We hope to expand internationally in the future as resources allow.

3. What Types of Funding Are Offered?

We provide several types of assistance, including:

  • Emergency Relief: Help with essential expenses like rent, utilities, or medical bills.

  • Medical Expense Support: Assistance with costs related to treatment, equipment, or prescription needs.

  • Entrepreneurial Microgrants: Small grants to support individuals with chronic illnesses pursuing self-employment or small business ventures.

4. Why Is There a Small Application (Maintenance) Fee?

A nominal fee helps us cover basic administrative and processing costs so we can keep our programs running sustainably.

  • $2 for Emergency Assistance applications

  • $5–$10 for Grant applications
    This small contribution ensures faster processing and continued access to aid for future applicants.

5. How Does the Funding Process Work?

Each application is reviewed based on eligibility, documentation, and fund availability.
Because financial systems and licensing requirements vary by state, assistance must comply with local regulations. Applicants will be notified if any state-specific restrictions apply.

6. Are There State-to-State Differences?

Yes.
Due to state-specific financial regulations and licensing requirements, some forms of support may differ depending on where you live. Our team ensures compliance with each state’s laws and available funding.

7. What About Privacy and Confidentiality?

We follow strict nonprofit privacy practices.
All applications and personal details are kept confidential and never shared outside of MS Funding Alliance without your consent.
We comply fully with U.S. data protection standards and take your privacy seriously.

8. What’s the Fine Print?

Disclaimer:
MS Funding Alliance is not a government agency and does not provide medical or legal advice.
Our programs are designed to supplement, not replace, formal medical or financial support.
All funding awards depend on eligibility, fund availability, and adherence to organizational guidelines.
