Phoenix Community Fund Empowering survivors with tangible impact. The Phoenix Community Fund exists to come alongside and serve individuals who: are at risk of being trafficked, or are past their trafficking experience to provide economic assistance for their immediate needs. WHAT DOES THE FUND PROVIDE? The path to economic empowerment looks differently for everyone. The Phoenix Community Fund is founded on the principle that Survivors are the experts in their own story, and enables them to ask for exactly what they know they need. Funds are intended to be used for any tangible needs. Some examples are: Rental Assistance, Utility or Phone bills, Groceries, Clothing, Hygiene Products, Travel Assistance, Medical expenses, Legal or Application Fees, Tutoring or Exam Fees, Textbooks, and more. We typically fund up to 4 requests per month, totaling anywhere from $500 - $900 depending on availability. Current Status as of August 18, 2022 We are currently able to fund 3 requests, up to $250 each.
