About the Guide Relief Program
The Guide Relief Program, recognized as an IRS-designated nonprofit organization, extends financial assistance to guides in crisis through the allocation of small grants. This aid is designed to ease some of the financial challenges that guides may encounter during periods of difficulty. Furthermore, the GRP offers a valuable resource by granting access to two months of free and confidential mental health services.
Acknowledging the significance of mental well-being, we affirm that the mental health of guides holds equal importance to their physical health. Our commitment is to ensure that guides possess the essential resources to navigate both their personal lives and their professional commitments successfully.
