Through the Childrens Catastrophic Fund, the SPCSF was able to provide funds to Sienna families whose lives are significantly impacted by a child who has a catastrophic illness of some type. These funds are available for any Sienna family who may face a financial hardship while caring for a special needs child (total funds per child are $1000, renewable annually).
The SPCSF is funded via a fee of one-half of one percent of the sale price of new and resale homes in Sienna (collected at closing) and is managed by a Board of Trustees. For further information on the SPCSF, or to request a funding application, contact Dana Ippoliti at. |
