HAMAKOM Financial Assistance is a need-based program only, and families must demonstrate true financial need to qualify. All remaining and past due balances will be taken into consideration.
Assistance is granted on a case by case basis and limited by the funding we have available for this purpose.
Unfortunately, we cannot grant assistance to all who apply for it, as the funds for assistance are limited.
All information is kept strictly confidential by all parties.
INSTRUCTIONS
Please fill out the entire application. Any unanswered questions may delay processing of your application or prevent its processing altogether. You are also free to attach additional information if you would like.
All ECC applications must be submitted with a copy of pages 1 & 2 of your 2020 & 2021 Federal Tax return and 2022 Tax Return or W-2s. Failure to provide this information will result in your application remaining incomplete and not considered.
Processing the applications takes time. You maybe contacted by the Executive Director or Membership Engagement Director asking for clarification or additional information while your application is processed. You can expect to wait three to four weeks for a final decision.
JLC (Religious School) and ECC FAMILIES: Please complete all ECC and/or JLC Registrations and ECC tuition processes prior to submitting this request for assistance. Your request for assistance cannot be considered without these registrations.
HAMAKOM is proud of our commitment to offer membership to any family who seeks it, regardless of ability to pay. We thank those members who voluntarily pledge more than the standard membership contribution, for providing the funds for us to do so.
If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact our Executive Director, Aliza Goland, at agoland@hamakomla.org.
FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE DEADLINES:
Priority Returning ECC Families (membership & tuition): May 12
Priority Returning JLC Families (membership & tuition): June 15
Final Deadline for All Returning Members: July 30
Financial Assistance is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis so all applicants are encouraged to apply as early as possible.
For financial assistance to be granted, HAMAKOM must be important among your financial priorities. If you are having trouble with your expenses in general, what other adjustments are you making, or asking to be made, in other aspects of your life?
