Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Compassionate Care Fund

[Mac & Sandy Thomson (ganesh]

Rob,

Could you say more about this?  How is it structured?  Who decides who gets
gifts or loans?

Several years ago we decided to create a Heartwood Humanitarian Fund along
the same lines, but it hasn't yet gotten off the ground.  It doesn't seem to
be enough of a priority until someone actually needs the financial
assistance.

Do any other groups out there have this kind of fund?

Thanks,
Mac
