Our organization is now here for those that also need help with safe transition facilities or rising education costs.

***Please note that even if you are eligible for assistance because you are a victim of a disaster or emergency hardship, you have no automatic right to receive funds from Velie Real Estate Foundation. It is typical that requests we have for funds exceeds the amount we have available to distribute. We review each grant request based on the needs most compelling to our charitable mission, the public benefit of our activities, and the specific needs and resources of each victim. Unfortunately, in using our discretion to distribute our funds, we cannot meet all grant requests.
