What is the Hestia Fund?
A few years ago, Hellenion decided to provide a little financial assistance to members who might be experiencing difficulties with bills concerning their home. Staying warm, keeping the lights on, a few groceries, even a little help with the rent.
We created the Hestia fund.
Members in need can petition the Prutaneis for small grants to help with the above-mentioned items. The grants are up to $100US ($200 per family) within a twelve-month period.
-
- Eligibility: Only Hellenion members in good standing are eligible to receive Hestia Fund funding.
- Purpose: Funds must be used for household and living expenses only.
- Maximum: Individual members may apply for no more than US$100 per twelve months. Families holding memberships may apply for no more than US$200 per family per twelve months.
- Privacy: Hellenion will not reveal the names of Hestia Fund recipients, though recipients may do so themselves if desired.
- Observance: The Prutaneia recommends that Hestia Fund recipients express gratitude to the Goddess.
Monies for the Hestia fund come from donations directly to the fund itself, made through Paypal or in any other payment method we accept.
If you already give to Hellenion and would like to contribute to the Hestia Fund, please make a note of that when you use PayPal or send a short note if you pay by check or money order.
