Giving Hope Fund

If you are a Catholic Charities program participant and find yourself facing an emergency situation with nowhere else to turn, you may be eligible to receive direct financial assistance of up to $2,500.

Available within 48 hours, this assistance can help you maintain stability during unstable circumstances, for example alleviating financial hardship caused by a sudden car repair, unexpected medical bill, or another one-time expense that threatens to tip you and your family toward financial crisis.

To qualify, you must already receive services from Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Chicago.
