FACT Benevolent Fund

First Alliance maintains a Benevolent Fund to meet short-term and emergency needs. The Benevolent Fund is administered by the FACT Deacons team, and it is not meant to be a long-term source of support. Our community benevolence ministries are in partnership with the Salvation Army and our internal benevolence ministries are handled by the Deacons. If you want to request assistance from the Benevolent Fund for yourself (or on behalf of someone else), please complete the appropriate form below. Note, there is a process for approval, so last-minute requests will likely not be approved in time. If you have questions, please use this link to contact the Deacons Care Team.
