Start an Employees 1st Emergency Relief Fund for your company today!
Employees 1st is an efficient and effective way for a company to provide financial help to its employees. FAST.
Your company makes tax-deductible donations to your Employee Relief Fund. We issue tax-free grants to cover your workers’ short-term financial emergencies caused by personal hardships or disasters.
***This form is for NEW BUSINESS CLIENTS ONLY. If you would like to apply for an individual employee assistance grant for yourself, please get in touch with your company’s benefits manager to see if your company offers an Employees 1st fund. We cannot accept individual grant requests unless your company has a fund set up.
FOR NEW CLIENTS:
1) Employees 1st is a program for companies (not individuals) to start emergency relief funds, also called employee assistance funds. ***We do not work with individuals unless their company has already established an Employees 1st fund.
2) Companies can add our program to their existing Employee Assistance Program (EAP). An Employees 1st program can stand alone, too.
3) Companies must have at least 300 employees. Companies with less than 300 employees are not eligible for this program.
4) SHORT TERM PROGRAM FOR DISASTERS: After large disasters, Employees 1st offers a short-term program to companies with a smaller employee base for event-specific aid. Companies may also provide this resource year-round. Please get in touch for more information.
