Our mission.

Emergency Assistance Foundation partners with companies -- our Fund Partners -- to help their team members who are struggling through difficult times. Following an unexpected disaster or personal hardship, our employer-sponsored relief funds award grants that provide essential financial assistance on the path to recovery.

WHY EAF?

 

Financial First Responders.

We are resourceful and fearless, ensuring that financial assistance reaches individuals and families in need as quickly as possible, no matter the location or obstacle. In fact, we award 5 grants every hour - helping a family in need every 12 minutes.

We remain adaptable by harnessing technology, developing scalable platforms and procedures, and constantly evaluating and improving our processes.
