Who we are
The UT Staff Emergency Fund was established in 2003 to assist staff members who experience emergency financial hardship. We provide badly needed financial assistance when life emergencies overwhelm members of our community. We work quickly to get staff members the help they need to keep meeting financial obligations and maintain a healthy work/life balance. With decades of experience responding to emergencies, we work efficiently to get people the help they need.
What we’re fundraising for
We assist with many types of emergencies, most often for staff members who have major medical expenses or lost wages from extended medical leave. We also provide much needed help at times of natural disasters or fires, times when a financial award can give a family needed shelter and food. All Staff Emergency Fund donations assist our staff members to remain an effective part of our community at times they otherwise might have lost employment. We promote an atmosphere of community cohesion by taking care of our members in need.
Your impact
Thanks to your support, the UT Staff Emergency Fund works in a timely manner to get staff members the financial assistance they desperately need. One recipient said that their financial award was, “A relief, like a huge burden was taken off of me.” Please contribute to the fund to ease the burdens of the staff members in need that we encounter on campus every day.
