The Helping Hands to Members - Medical Relief Grant provides up to $5,000 in financial assistance to Sons of Norway members who have maintained active membership for at least one year and are facing significant financial hardship due to serious medical illness or personal injury. Eligible expenses include those not fully covered by insurance, government aid, charitable organizations, or personal fundraising efforts. The illness or injury must have occurred within the past 24 months, and applications are accepted on a rolling basis during that window. This grant is intended to help members manage unreimbursed medical costs and regain stability during times of health-related crisis.
