Apply for Support

If you are experiencing financial hardship, the IPA Group Benevolent Fund may be able to help.

We support eligible current and former IFA members, current IPA members, and their eligible dependants during times of genuine difficulty. This may include illness, injury, bereavement, loss of income, family crisis, housing insecurity, or other serious financial pressures.

To begin, please complete our short Support Enquiry and Eligibility Check form. This first step helps us understand a little about you, your connection to IFA or IPA, why you are seeking support, and whether you may meet the Fund’s basic eligibility criteria.

This is not a full application and does not guarantee support. If your enquiry appears eligible to progress, we may contact you for further information and ask you to complete a full application with supporting documents.

All enquiries are treated with care, respect, and confidentiality.

The application process will guide you through three stages:

Tell us about yourself

Step 1

Eligibility check

Step 2

Provide more detailed information

Step 3

Start Your Support Enquiry

Please complete this short form to tell us a little about yourself, your IFA or IPA membership connection, and why you are seeking support.

This is the first step only. If you appear to meet the Fund’s basic eligibility criteria, we may invite you to complete a full application and provide supporting documents.

Support is discretionary and depends on eligibility, individual circumstances, evidence provided, and the funds available.
