What kind of aid is provided
by The Butterfly Organization?

The Butterfly Organization provides support to help people having difficulty fulfilling their basic needs, or caring for their health and well-being following a serious loss or illness.

What is the eligibility criteria
to be considered as a recipient?

We will first establish that candidates do not have the funds or the physical capability of helping themselves. The final candidate is selected based on a vote by the board of directors. **Applicants must be Colorado residents only**

How long does the assessment
period take once I submit a request for aid?

To qualify for assistance, we will run a background check on the recipient, contact her referrals and conduct a personal interview. This process may take up to 14 business days to complete.
