LUPUS EMERGENCY GRANT PROGRAM / Up to $500 for People with Lupus in Financial Need

The PA Fund for Patient Advocacy at the Lupus Research Alliance established the Lupus Emergency Grant Program (LEGP) to help people impacted with lupus to handle financial burdens posed by this debilitating chronic disease. The PA Fund’s focus is to make a difference in the lives of people with lupus and their families who have limited resources at their disposal to combat their illness.

The LEGP has helped relieve the immediate, short-term financial aid concerns of many individuals with lupus by providing grants of up to $500 for day-to-day living expenses. Since its inception in 2019, 492 grants have been awarded at over $230,000.

Six grants are awarded each month to those individuals living with lupus who apply and demonstrate the most urgent financial needs. Once approved by LEGP’s Review Committee, a grant is awarded up to the maximum amount of $500.00. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis. Grants are contingent on the availability of funds.
