Eligibility:
AFFCF can consider funding, one-time only, to help furnish a young adult’s first apartment or dorm room with items such as pots and pans, dishes, towels, shower curtains, rugs, cleaning supplies, lamps or small appliances like a toaster or microwave. These funds cannot be used for furniture or electronics.
Documentation:
Documentation is required beforehand. AFFCF requires a list of items and their individual cost along with the completed application. Typically, the youth will go online to Amazon or Target (or whatever store where they would like to use) and create a wish list showing the items and their cost. That wish list should be included as supplemental documentation. Dormco often offers a 44 piece college dorm essential set that may meet your dorm or apartment set-up needs https://www.dormco.com
Payment:
Once a request is approved, AFFCF will send an e-mail to notify the applicant that the request has been approved and for what amount so the purchase(s) can be made and the receipt(s) mailed to AFFCF for payment.
The maximum AFFCF can consider funding for an apartment set-up is $400 and $300 is the maximum for a dorm set-up.
