PROMEDICA HERE TO HELP FUND

 

ProMedica is partnering with The Columbus Foundation and the Gifts of Kindness LLC to create The ProMedica Here to Help Fund. The Here to Help Fund will support eligible employees who experience a financial hardship resulting from an unexpected emergency hardship or qualified disaster.

 

Who is eligible for assistance?

 

ProMedica employees are eligible to apply if they are an active full-time, part-time or PRN employee (not a contract or temporary employee). Eligible hardship events must happen after the employee's hire date.

 

ProMedica employees are eligible to apply and receive support multiple times in a calendar year but not receive more than a total of $3,000 in a calendar year. The death of an employee will have a maximum grant amount of $5,000. There is a $9,000 lifetime maximum per employee.

 

Per the guidelines, all of your documents must include your name and/or address. Please do not provide any documentation with personal information such as your social security number, driver's license information, bank/credit card account numbers or user ID/passwords. Please redact or remove this information before sending the document.

 

Who is not eligible for assistance?

 

Contract or temporary associates are not eligible to apply or to receive assistance.
