We provide financial assistance towards incidental expenses (accommodation, meals and transport) incurred to members and their families who must travel for transplant assessment/ transplant. 

What is it worth?

The transplant assessment grant is €300 for assessments carried out in Dublin and €500 for assessments carried out in the UK.

The transplant grant is €850 for members attending a hospital in Dublin, and €1,200 for those attending the Freeman Hospital in Newcastle, UK. 

How do I apply?

In order to avail of the transplant assessment grant, a copy of the original letter from the hospital stating the date and time of appointment for assessment must be sent to CFI.

CFI should be contacted directly by a member of the CF/Transplant team or by the next-of-kin of the PWCF for the transplant grant. 

When can I appy?

Application should be made as soon as notification of appointment or assessment is sent to the family.

CFI cannot issue this grant to members retrospectively.
