Financial Assistance

MARBLE CARE FUND: The Marble Care Fund is a gift intended for emergency financial assistance to be used when the family or individual requesting assistance has explored all other possibilities of help from family, friends, savings, or investments. It is intended to be a source of last resort, a temporary help during a time of crisis and not a source of income for monthly and routine expenses. The gift shall not exceed $2,500 per person or family. When all other possible sources of funds have been tapped, the Marble Care Fund can be a lifeline during a time of crisis such as the COVID-19 pandemic.

Recipients may be Marble Collegiate Church members, regular attendees, or members of the community who have been recommended by a Marble Church member. Consideration will be given to all special needs due to emergencies, unforeseen circumstances, or other special care-related situations; and funds will cover critical items such as housing, food, essential clothing, medical treatment, essential transportation expenses, utility bills or essential childcare expenses.

Payments from the Marble Care Fund will be payable to the third party to whom the applicant owes money; funds will not be distributed directly to the applicant
