Modest Needs

They give small emergency grants to working people who earn a little too much for most aid but are one surprise bill away from real trouble.

Good to know

Grants usually run from about $750 to $1,250 and are paid straight to the biller, like your landlord or utility. Applying is free, and grants are limited, so not everyone who applies gets one.
