Form and materials
The board administers the process for selecting the recipients of grants for living assistance (rent, medications, food, etc). Requests are received from potential recipients and amounts are determined based on the need of the individual applicant. Most recipients are retirees who have no income aside from their pension, which are below the poverty level. The amount of aid granted to each individual is determined principally according to their need for medications. Other recipients include college students who work to support themselves but are unable to earn sufficiently for the tuition. Annual visits to each recipient and ongoing correspondence including some telephone conversations monitor their situation and needs.
Deadlines
None
Restrictions
The foundation is established to provide living assistance to needy elderly persons of latvian origin. There are no specific restrictions other than demonstrated need.
