About the fund

Funded by Charles River Laboratories, the Charles River Employee Relief Fund was created to help employees who are facing financial hardship immediately after a natural disaster or an unforeseen personal hardship.

Emergency Assistance Foundation (EAF) is the third-party administrator for the Fund. EAF independently administers all Fund activities, including accepting donations, objectively reviewing grant applications, and awarding and distributing grants. The sponsoring organization has no visibility into individual applications or grants unless an applicant opts in to share certain details under specific circumstances.
