Hultman Memorial Fund

The ULF Family Assistance Program

Aaron Hultman (ALD), 1995-2004

Overview

Thanks to a generous donation by the Hultman family, the ULF has established a memorial fund that is intended to provide financial assistance to leukodystrophy-affected families who are struggling to pay expenses directly related to the affected family member.

Eligibility

To be considered, a family must complete and submit an application form and demonstrate:

  • Financial hardship – includes but not limited to; change in income, medical related expenses, and overall financial need.  Note: Detailed information supporting the need, related to the affected family member, must be included.
  • Proof of USA Residency – US citizenship is not required, but we are only granting funds to USA residents.
  • Proof of leukodystrophy diagnosis – examples include a letter from a physician, test results with diagnosis noted in comments, etc.

Grant Details

  • Grant amounts vary based on each family’s financial need and individual circumstances.
  • The maximum grant amount is $500 USD per affected family, per grant.
  • Priority consideration is given to families who have not previously received assistance through this program.
  • Funds are issued via a hard-copy check.
  • A family may receive no more than one grant within a 12-month period.

Important Notes

  • Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis as funding is available.
  • Families that receive a grant are not eligible for an additional grant for one rolling calendar year. Each application is reviewed and considered independently.
  • The information and documentation submitted by families will remain confidential and will not be shared beyond ULF managing staff.
  • Questions about the Hultman Family Assistance Program should be directed to the ULF Office via email at office@ulf.org.
Citizenship is not required; we are only able to mail funds to people who reside in the U.S.A.
