Assistance

Since January, 2006, OBRF has distributed over $605,000 in financial assistance to over 280recipients in our Outer Banks community.  Financial assistance gifts from OBRF normally range between $500 and $3,000.

OBRF Financial Assistance Application Process

Please contact the OBRF administrative office to request a “Form of Need” application. Once the completed Form of Need has been submitted and initially reviewed by the Executive Director, it is assigned to one of five (5) Board panels for their review and consideration. Should the panel determine that the Form of Need request is consistent with the mission of OBRF and merits full Board approval, the panel recommends a vote for approval by the OBRF Board of Directors. From initial submission of a completed Form of Need to a final Board decision for approval, the process normally takes from 2-3 weeks.
