AMN Caring for Caregivers Fund FAQs

Example: An eligible AMN healthcare professional experiences home damage in 2022 due to a hurricane, applies for a grant, and is approved based on the details of the event. The AMN healthcare professional cannot submit for additional grant awards for the same 2022 hurricane event.
