DELTS HELPING DELTS RELIEF FUND
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

The purpose of the Delts Helping Delts Relief Fund (the "Fund") is to provide short-term assistance to needy student members of The Delta Tau Delta Fraternity in good standing who find themselves in financial distress due to the occurrence of a Presidentially declared major disaster or emergency under Section 401 of the Stafford Act. Applications for grants must be received on or before the six month anniversary of the date of the Presidential declaration.

Grants from this program are restricted in their use to the payment for basic necessities such as food, clothing, tuition, books, fees, temporary housing, immediate medical care, funeral services, and other critical needs arising directly out of the disaster or emergency. The amount and number of grants made will depend upon the availability of funds and the needs of each recipient. Payments will be made to qualified applicants upon receipt of complete application materials as may be awarded by the Delts Helping Delts Relief Fund Committee (the "Committee").

Grant funds used for the purposes contemplated in the approval process do not need to be repaid; however, recipients must comply with the Fund's reporting requirements. The decision of the Committee and Board is final. In the event an application is denied, a denial letter setting forth the reason for the denial shall be sent to the applicant at the address shown on the application.

Grants shall be made by check as a single payment or monthly payments for a period not to exceed six months. The maximum amount that may be granted to any individual in connection with any one disaster is $1,000.

Upon acceptance of the grant funds, a recipient agrees to provide an accounting of the use of the grant funds within a reasonable time. The accounting shall include a submission of information on insurance proceeds and receipts where appropriate with a requirement for return of any funds not spent in a manner consistent with the purpose of the Fund.
