This grant provides families with a important financial life line in the initial periods after the loss of a family member in the mountains. The Cost of Living Grant Program’s primary goal is to financially support the most basic needs of a family during a five-year period, post tragedy. We deliver this via a direct cash transfer of $3,000 per year. This totals $15,000 per family and helps alleviate an immediate financial burden, allowing the family to focus on grieving and laying the foundation to adapt to their new financial reality.
