WHAT IS THE SISTER SEASON FUND?

The Sister Season Fund, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) organization to prevent homelessness.  Our goal is to provide financial assistance to those who work in the hospitality/tourism related industries, who become sick or injured and are temporarily out of work and do not have the financial resources to keep a roof over their head or pay their basic utilities.

We believe that these individuals represent the infrastructure of the hospitality/tourism industry in Key West, and consequently our island can not afford to lose them. Many do not have the financial resources, insurance or employee benefits to remain ​in Key West while recovering from temporary adversity.
​

MISSION STATEMENT

Our mission is to focus on the Hospitality/Tourism related Industry employees, who have become temporarily out of work, through no fault of their own, may it be Illness, accident or a natural disaster, such as hurricanes and Covid-19. 

Our Funding is awarded to the applicants Landlord for rent, and Utilities Companies for their utilities. 

Our Vision has been and is, to expand our program further up the Florida Keys. We have only been based in Key West Florida 33040, since we were established in 2005.
