| The foundation is available for individuals needing short-term
emergency assistance. Potential recipients can apply for grants or
loans in times of critical financial need due to issues such as
medical emergency, natural disasters or other unforeseen, life-changing
events. Individuals can also submit an application on the behalf of
deserving charitable organizations serving a broad public interest.
Applicants will be required to clearly demonstrate a need for
grants and loans. Applicants must have exhausted all other methods
of funding sources. Supporting documentation includes but is not
limited to: pay stubs, insurance coverage, copies of bills, other
sources of income and letters from individuals that can testify to
need. The foundation does not fund credit card expenses, utility
bills, school tuition/expenses and minor car/house repairs, absent
exceptional circumstances such as disaster relief or other catastrophic events.
For contributions to other charitable organizations, the Mesa Angels
Foundation does not fund the following: religious organizations or
endeavors; political, legislative, lobbying, sports or fraternal
organizations; building funds/capital projects; conferences or
symposia; sponsorship of events, tables, exhibitions or performances; or
walk/run/bike-a thons.
Once an application is submitted, it will be reviewed by the foundation's
Management Committee, made up of volunteers appointed by the Foundation Board
of Directors. Applications will be due by the first (1st) of the month. The
committee will meet on the second (2nd) Tuesday of each month to review all
applications. All decisions by the committee are final.
