Purpose:
The LEARN COVID-19 Employee Assistance Fund provides up to $500 in emergency funds for qualifying employees who are experiencing financial hardship due to the coronavirus pandemic. Assistance from the Fund is to provide economic relief and/or resources to support employees and their families.
UPDATE: We have had an overwhelming response to our coronavirus pandemic assistance fund and are thrilled to have been able to provide funds to support so many of our employees and their families. We have exhausted our initial grant and have to pause the application process for now. We are working on raising additional funds so we can continue to offer these gifts in the future. Thank you and stay safe
