Project Hope Emergency Assistance Program
We know those in our community have medical bills that can prevent them from paying a bill on time, or even at all. Our Project Hope program can help those members of our bleeding disorder community with a utility bill, rent, or food. Please note we cannot help with medical bills themselves. We would require you to fill out the application and send in a copy of the bill that you need help with. Those who have come to our events in the last year will receive $500 and those who do not attend our events will receive $250 that will go towards the bill they have submitted. It can be more than one bill.
Approval for financial assistance is contingent upon the availability of sponsorship funds. As we rely on generous sponsors to support this program, the timing and amount of available funding can vary.
Travel Assistance
Need help getting to your bleeding disorder appointments?? Through funds from the Hemophilia Federation of American, we can send out BP gas cards for those needing gas assistance in order to get to your appointments.

State Hemophilia Program
The Tennessee State Hemophilia Program was created in 1974 to ensure the care and treatment of people suffering from hemophilia. The program assists people who require continuing treatment to avoid crippling, extensive hospitalization and other effects associated with their bleeding condition, but who are unable to pay for the entire cost of such services on a continuing basis despite the existence of various types of hospital and medical insurance.
Dugdule / van Eys Scholarship
The Dugdale / van Eys Scholarship is a program that recognizes the leadership of Doctors Marion Dugdale and Jan van E. It is awarded annually, with the number of recipients and the amount granted based on available funding. Additionally, you can explore other scholarships available for individuals with bleeding disorders.
