Application for Assistance

Sorry, applications are closed for the month. Check back again with us next month. Please do not email documentation unless you have submitted an application.​

Please read the following carefully! Failure to read our qualifications may result in your application being denied.

​

The Greater Valdosta United Way has a very limited budget to help those in need. Applications generally open around the first of the month and close within a couple of days due to the overwhelming need. It is recommended to begin checking to see if applications have been opened a few days prior to the first. At the bottom of this page, there are lists and links that provide information on additional resources in our community, please check them out.

​

Please read the following before completing an application for assistance:

  • Unfortunately, we do not have funding for rental assistance at this time.

  • Payment for late fees and/or reconnection are not allowed.  

  • Please allow at least 3 days to process your application.

  • Please check your email. Email is our first method of communication.

  • Please upload a copy of your photo I.D. and a copy of the utility bill to the application. A screenshot is acceptable; just be sure all information is readable. The account number, name, and amount due must be readable.

  • If you fail to provide a description for your request, your application will be denied. Please explain the reason for your request.

  • If you have trouble uploading your documents to the application, please send them to assistance@gvuw.org. Please do not send documents if you have not submitted an application.

  • Applications are processed on a first-come, first-served basis. If you cannot be reached in a reasonable amount of time, we will move on to the next applicant.

  • Completing the application is NOT a guarantee of assistance.

  • If you have received assistance from our organization in the past, you are ineligible to reapply for one full year and a day from the date of assistance.

 

For any additional questions or concerns, email us at assistance@gvuw.org. Unsolicited documentation and questions that have been addressed on this page will not receive a response.
