Emergency & Disaster Relief for Employees
Our Employee Assistance programs are designed to allow compassionate employers to support their valued workforce in times of great need.
Employees who have experienced a qualifying event can apply directly to The Community Foundation through the application process specific to their employer.
The Foundation works with each applicant on a one-to-one basis, and assistance funds are used to pay bills for qualifying basic needs on behalf of those who are approved. This may include short-term, emergency assistance with housing, basic utilities, and certain other basic living expenses.
All applications are confidential.
What situations qualify for General Emergency Assistance?
General Emergency Assistance funds are designed to provide short-term, emergency support to employees or eligible dependents who have experienced certain unforeseen and unpreventable circumstances such as a natural disaster, life-threatening illness or injury, a death incident, or other certain catastrophic or extreme circumstances – and, as a result, cannot afford housing, necessary utilities, or other basic living needs.
