We are here for you.

Assistance 1st partners with affiliates to make cash grants to individuals facing unexpected emergencies that require financial assistance.

How so? People and companies establish a charitable fund with Assistance 1st for the who they want to help—that can be people in their community, their employees or their clients. 

Contributions to the charitable fund are tax-deductible and, typically, people receiving the grants don't have to pay taxes on the gift. Assistance 1st acknowledges the charitable contributions by email or letter for tax purposes.

Assistance 1st does the rest.

For clients, we manage assets in the funds, report grants, verify applications and need, and issue grant checks. Assistance 1st also offers an online portal to let anyone donate tax-free to the charitable fund. 

To applicants, we offer a simple application process at a secure site. Applicants can also track their grant request on the site. Because people need money quickly after a emergencies and disasters, we promise a quick review process.
