The fund will provide up to $3,000 of financial assistance to eligible College faculty and staff in times of significant personal crisis. Personal crisis that results in financial hardship may be due to any number of circumstances including serious or long-term illness, death of a family member, catastrophic events or disasters, and family breakups. Assistance is available on a short-term, temporary basis, and any funds received will be considered taxable income to the employee per IRS guidelines.
The fund will be supported by voluntary contributions from faculty and staff at the College.
