Each year, the Hill Spouses’ Club (HSC) provides grants to support local and national organizations and charities through the Welfare grants program. Welfare grants are given to organizations both on and off base that serve military members and their families. We appreciate the outpouring support for our service members and their families from our community and community service organizations; we look forward to the opportunity to give back to these groups and to aid them in achieving their goals of helping military families.
The Welfare Committee is tasked with receiving requests, evaluating them, making recommendations to the Hill Spouses’ Club (HSC) Governing Board as to their disposition, disbursing funds, and ensuring that disbursed funds are properly utilized. Once the request is submitted to the Welfare Chair, it is presented to the Welfare Committee for discussion and voting. If the committee votes to present it to the board, the Welfare Chair will present it at the monthly board meeting for discussion and final vote. The board meetings occur the first Tuesday of the month. After an official vote has been conducted, the request is processed and the check disbursed by the Welfare Treasurer.
Most Welfare Grants are project-specific, and the receiving organization must use the funds for the requested/approved purpose or return the funds to HSC. Priority is given to community organizations that benefit the Hill AFB military community. Grants are made only to organizations or groups with a bank account, not to individuals.
The following will not be funded:
- Politically sensitive and/or religious causes
- Fees, insurance costs, or other administrative costs
- Requests for reimbursement of items/services already purchased
- Stipends for speakers, salaries, travel, and other organizational personnel expenses
- Food and food-related items or items for resale in fundraising activities
