Disaster Fund

In the event of a natural disaster, affected members can receive assistance from the Disaster Fund.  Our Disaster Fund helps our members with immediate needs while they wait for government and insurance assistance.

All monies received by Grand Chapter for aid to members in the event of an earthquake, flood or other catastrophic disaster, and not used in connection with that disaster are retained to be available as immediate aid to members, in the event of subsequent catastrophes.

Applications for Disaster Fund Assistance are made through our Benevolent Fund.  Please contact our Phone: (714) 986-2380  or Email: adminmail@oescal.org or fill out the Benevolent application (above) on this web site by clicking the Apply For Help button.
