Parameters/requirements for receiving aid from the foundation are based on an in-person interview. In the interview we will assess and classify needs as emergency, short term, long term.  Within those parameters, and based on the amount of funds available, we will help or plan to help the recipient.

For examples of Client Aid, see Excel spreadsheet entitled Connect the Hearts Budget and Aid.  Some Clients receive aid once or for a very short time.  In this case Connect the Hearts is there to help them through the immediate situation.  Some Clients have needs that are on-going.  Their relationship with Connect the Hearts becomes more involved.  Connect the Hearts will address all types of need, from the sporadic to the continual.
