2024 Texas AFT Disaster Relief Fund Application

The Texas AFT Disaster Relief Fund provides direct assistance to members who sustain significant losses to primary dwellings, personal property, vehicles, or due to evacuations.

Grant sizes depend on the availability of funds and the submission of documentation that shows costs related to dwelling damage, personal property loss, and/or vehicle loss/car rental. (No need to write in great detail; just 2-3 sentences is enough!)

You must be a dues-paying member in good standing of an AFT affiliate or an AFT retiree at the time of the disaster.
