The Ways and Means Fund webpage has now been updated with all the details about the new pilot project, approved by the membership at February’s GMM!
Under this pilot project, the Ways and Means Fund allocation for 2025–2026 is divided equally into two sub-funds: an Emergencies Fund (for acute financial need caused by a recent emergency/adverse event) and a Hardship Fund (for acute or ongoing financial need unrelated to emergency circumstances).
The Ways and Means Hardship Fund‘s first application deadline is coming up soon, on March 31, so don’t forget to apply! You can also now find answers to all of your questions at the new Ways and Means FAQ page.
