Financial Assistance Application

Thank you for taking the time to complete the Cord of 3 Financial Assistance Application to use funds from the Family Fund for your services.

Keep the following in mind:

You will need a copy of your most recent 1040 Tax Returns (the first page only) to submit this application.
You will need a copy of the two most recent paycheck stubs of everyone of working age who lives in the home to submit this application.

If you don’t have these documents, gather them together and be prepared to submit them with this application. There will be an upload link provided to you below and you can upload those documents as a jpeg, png, or PDF.

The steps for approval for financial assistance:

You must complete this application in its entirety. If any part is left undone, you will not qualify for financial assistance.
Once you have submitted this application, our financial secretary will then reach out to you to schedule an “interview.” This will take place face-to-face in Blackshear at our main office or via Google Meets using your computer/IPAD/cell phone. We will not do phone interviews, we must see you to interview you.
After you have completed the application AND the interview, your paperwork will be processed through the Financial Accountability Committee for final approval. Once you are approved, you will receive a scholarship of a set amount
If/When you are approved, you will receive a scholarship for services of a set $ amount.
When that amount runs out, you will be responsible for payment for your services
We will put together a contract for the use of funds under the Family Fund that you must sign and return to the office
You will then be scheduled for your services with Cord of 3.
If the financial assistance for the month you applied has already been exhausted, you can reapply next month simply by contacting our financial secretary at llanier@cotcs.org and asking for a status update (you do not need to do a whole new application). Keep in mind, we only have a limited amount of money to utilize under the Family Fund each month so this is on a first come/first serve basis. We will not put you on a waiting list, you must call or email the office to have your application refiled with the finance committee each month.
If your financial assistance application has been denied for funding, you may appeal the decision of the finance committee with a new application after one month from the date of your original application. Make sure that you know why your financial assistance application was denied first before you reapply. You may contact us at llanier@cotcs.org to find out why your application has been denied.

Thank you for taking the time to work with us as we endeavor to be sound stewards of the financial resources that God has blessed us to have. We want this to be a blessing to you but we must also exercise sound financial wisdom as we do so.
