EAI Financial Aid and Resource Committee (FARC)

---

Financial Aid and Resource Committee (FARC) Mission

Through a thoughtful application and approval process, the FARC evaluates and approves need-based, financial aid requests for FA Eastern Area Intergroup (FA-EAI) members wishing to do service. The goal is to support and encourage the attendance of FA-EAI members at the annual FA World Service Business Convention as well as other service-related activities.   

FARC Activities

• FA Business Convention: provide financial aid to EAI World Service Conference (WSC) members in need of funding to attend the World Service Business Convention. Meetings are asked to elect a World-Service Conference (WSC) Member at their January or February business meeting. 
• EAI Service Support Weekend: provide financial aid to EAI members actively participating in service at the local level who are in need of funding to attend the event.
• Travel Fund Requests: provide funding for EAI members who have been asked to qualify at FA Information Sessions requiring travel.

World Service Business Convention 2025

FA-EAI has money budgeted to assist World Service Conference Members who require financial assistance to attend the 2025 Business Convention, either remotely or in person.

Available funding will depend on the number of submitted application requests that the FARC receives. The FARC will strive to distribute funds to as many fellows as possible. 

The application period will close on February 20th and you will receive a response by February 26th, in advance of the voting member registration deadline of February 28th, 2025.
