Programs and Services
Relief Fund

Is money tight right now?
Are you worried about putting food on your table?
Concerned about making the rent?
High medical or dental bills?

The Relief Committee of the NYQM has funds to help members and attenders through financial difficulties. We can issue both loans and grants, but cannot distribute funds for business purposes, speculation, or education.

If you need financial help, download the Relief Application PDF and email it to relief@nycquakers.org. If you're having trouble with the PDF, just send an email. Someone from the Relief Committee will be in touch with you to talk over the situation and explain the process.

Here is the Relief Committee Report for 2025 (from Jan. 18, 2026)

The Relief Committee meets on the third Thursday of each month. We review applications at that time.
