NEP Employee Assistance Fund

About the fund.

The NEP Employee Assistance Fund was created to help Charitable Class members (those eligible to apply for a grant) who are in need of immediate financial assistance following an unforeseen disaster or personal hardship. The Fund relies on support from the sponsoring organization (NEP) and individual donations made by NEP’s partners, employees, and/or the general public. Every donation makes a difference, no matter the amount, and combined with the donations of others, helps to provide grants when they are needed most.

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. Please contact EAF for all questions related to the Fund utilizing the email address or phone number listed at the top of this page.
