APPLYING FOR HELP

HOW TO APPLY FOR HELP, and HOW EACH CASE WILL BE HANDLED AFTER APPLYING

 

First, you must contact someone on the board of directors. Contact info can be found on the Ohio board members site, or on the site of your state, in which you live in. You may contact anyone of us, we will be more then happy to help you get started. This can be done by e-mail, or a phone call.
After the memorial fund has been informed, we will first get all the details of the accident for review from the local law officials, to see if the motorcyclest was riding irresponsibly.Such as running from local law enforcement, stunting, or riding while impaired in some way.

These are 3 red flags the board looks for when reviewing a case. Every case is different, and has its own set of circumstances. All circumstances are taken into consideration when reviewing the facts of the accident, and are a part of the boards decision process, for concideration for assistance from the fund. This is done ,due to the lack of available funds, do to the number of request we get for assistance every year. We hope that one day,that we will have enough funds in place ,so that we can eliminate these red flags.

After all the facts have been reviewed by the board, and the board agrees to help the motorcyclist's family, someone from the board will contact the family , to find out their needs, and to set up a delivery time for the check. In most cases the President/C.E.O. ,or  board members will personally present the family with a check. Unfortunately , due to the lack of funds, and the number of request we receive, we may be limited to how many motorcyclist's families we are able to help, or how much we are able to give them , and we regret that we have to do so.  Our goal, with your donations, and help , is to help each and everyone that comes to us for help , no matter what happened!

It is up to friends ,or family ,to notify us with in 3 months of the accident, of a family that needs our help. We will not approach any family with assistance during, or after their time of mourning, unless we have been asked to do so. This is done out of respect, for the families privacey. Also, all requests for assistance will be subject to further investigation by the board of directors, and with the assistance of the local law enforcement agencies.

Please remember, that this fund also depends on donations for some of it's operating expenses. Such as printing, web services & office supplies , just to name a few. The board members , their families, and friends also donate time , food and materials to the fund, to help keep it running. Depending on the total donations for any given year, the fund will use, on average,about 10 cents per every dollar donated, for operation expenses. We are a 501 c 3 charity, and all our information can be found with the proper federal offices, or you may contact us for further information.

The fallen riders memorial fund’s board of directors hope and pray that we will never have to use this memorial fund for it’s intended purpose,but unfortunately that will not be the case.

Again, Thank you very much for your suport.
