Overview
Building on Love, Inc. provides temporary financial support to families caring for a child (age 18 or younger) recently diagnosed (within ~120 days) with a life-altering illness and in active treatment. Support focuses on housing (rent/mortgage), access to care, and essential living expenses; the organization pays approved bills directly to vendors rather than giving funds to families. Eligibility: family must reside (12 months uninterrupted residency) in a county served by an approved medical referral partner, face demonstrable income loss, and be current on bills. Rolling intake via a screening questionnaire.
How to Apply
Begin with the online screening questionnaire (grant inquiry) at buildingonlove.org/grantinquiry; the team responds within 24 hours. Referral typically comes through an approved medical partner. Funds are paid directly to vendors on the family's behalf.
