Immigrant Families Fund

Millions of immigrants are working on the front lines of the COVID-19 crisis, risking their health and well-being every day to keep our society going. And yet, many immigrants were excluded from federal stimulus aid. The COVID-19 Rapid Response Fund is providing financial support to immigrant families who have been left out of the federal government’s relief efforts. Immigrants may be eligible to receive a $500 grant to help cover whatever is most pressing in their lives.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Due to limited funding and the high level of need, MAF can only provide one grant per individual (two grants per household). If you have received a MAF grant during the pandemic, please do not submit another application as we are unable to offer additional assistance at this time. We appreciate your understanding and encourage you to check out MAF’s COVID-19 Resources Finder.

Eligibility

Not eligible to receive a second-round stimulus check (Economic Impact Payment) from the Federal government.
Earned less than $87,000 or total household income below $174,000 in 2019.
Experienced an income disruption due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
Have not yet received a grant from MAF through our CA College Student Support Fund, LA Young Creatives Fund, or Immigrant Families Fund.

*Currently, due to an extremely large volume of interest, we are only able to approve applicants with online banking.
