The Masonic Noble Lodge No. 480 Curwensville PA, Osceola Masonic Lodge 515 and Coalport Masonic Lodge 574 along with the Clearfield County Charitable Foundation will be accepting applications to provide grant funding assistance to local children who have immediate or ongoing medical expenses not covered by health insurance or other funding sources. Funding for the grant awards will be made from the PB Zentmyer Trust Fund that was established by estate of PB Zentmyer in the 1920’s and entrusted to the area Masonic Lodges to manage and distribute to area children with specific medical needs.
Beginning Monday, April 21st, applications for consideration by the selection committee can be made online at the Clearfield County Charitable Foundation website, www.clearfieldcharitablefoundation.org, and the application period will run through June 30th with review and determination of grant awards made by September 30th.
To file the application, parents or legal guardians should go to www.clearfieldcharitablefoundation.org and click on the “FILE ZENTMYER APPLICATION” button, create a log in and password, and provide all the requested information on the online application. Parents and guardians should be aware the grant award will only be paid to the medical services provider or vendor providing services or equipment necessary for the treatment of the child and cannot be paid directly to the family. Also, this grant cannot be used to reimburse for expenses already incurred. The parent or guardian filing the online application will be required to upload specific letters of reference from certified physicians detailing the medical conditions and treatment needs of the child along with appropriate documentation from the health insurance provider detailing denial of payment for a particular service or equipment. All information will be kept confidential, and applicants may be required to attend an interview with the selection committee.
Greg Hamm, member of the Masons and of the PB Zentmyer Committee said “we want to follow the wishes of PB Zentmyer to provide financial assistance to children with medical needs. We know there are likely several children and families that need help paying for medical treatment or special equipment that is not covered by traditional health insurance. We are looking for those families who are in this situation and can use the extra help a grant from the PB Zentmyer Fund will provide”.
Any questions regarding filing an application for funding from the PB Zentmyer Fund can be emailed to cccfexecdir@outlook.com.
