GuardianWatch Emergency Fund

GuardianWatch provides rapid‑deployment microgrants—typically $500 to $3,000—to veterans, first responders, and eligible families in urgent need (housing instability, medical bills, transportation, funeral costs). The program balances speed, compassion, and accountability.

The GuardianWatch Emergency Fund is available to U.S. military veterans, first responders, and their eligible dependents facing urgent financial crises such as housing instability, medical expenses, transportation needs, or funeral costs. Applicants must provide proof of service or relationship (e.g., DD-214, agency ID, or official letter) and submit a signed self-attestation describing the emergency and requested assistance. Receipts or supporting documents are encouraged but not required. Requests unrelated to an immediate emergency or without a clear service connection will not be considered.
