Lupus LA offers financial help to people diagnosed with lupus undergoing particularly trying times.

Grant Guidelines

• Emergency Grant requests are accepted from, or on behalf of, individuals diagnosed with lupus who live in the United States.
• Applicants must offer satisfactory evidence that lupus has been medically diagnosed. Evidence provided must include a doctor’s verification (a medical release form)
• Applicants must demonstrate a significant financial need and show how the grant will either meet the need in full or supplement other resources
• Grants are paid by check directly to the agency or provider
• Grants are limited to an annual total of no more than $500 within a 12-month period.
• The Lupus LA financial grant MUST BE directly related to the treatment of lupus or a “lupus-related” emergency. Grant requests are not accepted for rent, mortgage, or car payments
• Grants are not considered for funding when assistance from other sources (family, government, social agency, etc.) is deemed available

To obtain an application for a Lupus LA Emergency Grant, call us at  310-657-5667 ext. 3 on a weekday between 9am and 5pm, or email our Virtual Care Coordinator, Maggie Sepkowitz at maggies@lupusla.org.

The Lupus LA Emergency Grant Program is contingent upon availability of funds. Funding of a grant for one year does not guarantee funding for subsequent years.
